Zeynep inherits the extraordinary talent of her father İsmail, once known as Diyarbakır’s most gifted yet unluckiest footballer. But talent alone is not enough, she must fight for equal opportunity to pursue her dreams. As İsmail struggles to accept his daughter’s ambition, Zeynep is forced into marriage, only to make a daring escape. Haunted by the sacrifice of a sibling who took the blame for her, she pushes forward and ultimately steps onto the field wearing the national team jersey, becoming a symbol of hope and courage for countless girls.

In the 1990s, some newspapers were not allowed to enter the Diyarbakir region, under a state of emergency at that time, although they were legal. Children like Bawer and Hebûn, who were part of the distribution group, would secretly collect these newspapers from outside the city at a previously agreed location and take them to the planned meeting place in the city. There, the children changed their clothes and went out to distribute them, under the guise of other work. But they were constantly followed by those who saw the newspaper as dangerous and wanted to prevent its dissemination. Çerx is a testament to the conditions under which these newspapers were distributed to readers and the difficulties encountered.
