What is Korkma Ben Yanindayim about?
Inci is a top student at Ulusozler College on a scholarship, adored by her parents Seher and Selahattin, who have spent years hoping she becomes a doctor. Seher works as a janitor at the very school Inci attends, and the family has built its future around her success. Everything shifts when Inci becomes pregnant by Mert, a classmate who also happens to be the son of the school's owner, Turgut. The pregnancy forces both families into the open, exposing the gap between the wealth of the school's owners and the sacrifices the janitor's household has made for their daughter's education. Turgut's marriage to Aylin, already strained by his controlling grip over their household, comes under new pressure as the two teenagers try to hold onto their own plans for the future while their parents scramble to manage the fallout.
