While Cevat does not fulfill his responsibilities for the sake of his dreams, Aniesi becomes increasingly lonely in the face of this indifference. Şakir Pasha's growing hardening towards Cevat and softening towards Aniesi puts İsmet Hanım in a dilemma. Ayşe is forced to face the reality that she will leave her father and her home when she marries her suitor. Sümbül's steps to disrupt the calm order of the mansion further complicate events. Growing tension and deepening secrets prepare to upset the balance within the family. The story of the series, which tells the lives of the Şakir Pasha family, who lead a life ahead of its time, full of intrigue and secrets, begins in 1912. When Cevat Şakir Kabaağaçlı, who made Bodrum famous as the Fisherman of Halicarnassus, returns to his family's home in Büyükada with his Italian wife, everyone's lives change radically. This change will not only affect the period in which he lived; it will also lead to the emergence of successful names from the family such as Princess Fahrelnissa Zeid, the master of modern painting, Aliye Berger, the first Turkish engraver, and Füreya Koral, the first Turkish ceramic artist.
