Synopsis
Inspired by a real-life story, the movie tells the story of Eda (Akasya Aslitürkmen), a dancer who fell in love with Cihan (Kubilay Tunçer), a family man. When she realized that she was four months pregnant, she thought that an abortion would solve the problem. On the same night that her dance academy mate Oya (Deniz Soyarslan) made the solo show instead of her, Eda had an abortion in illegal conditions and risked her life. Her choice did not lead to death but changed her life into a living hell. Three years later she married a photographer Cenk (Murat Yıldırım) and again became pregnant. However, along with the pregnancy, some dismal happenings began to change her life and mind, frightening and hurting those around her.Actors

Several months after the events of The Fly, Veronica Quaife is about to deliver the child she had conceived with scientist Seth Brundle. Anton Bartok, owner of Bartok Industries (the company which financed Brundle's teleportation experiments), oversees the labor. Veronica dies from shock after giving birth to a squirming larval sac, which splits open to reveal a seemingly normal baby boy. The orphaned child, named Martin Brundle, is taken into Bartok's care. Bartok is fully aware of the teleportation accident which genetically merged Seth Brundle with a housefly (a condition that Martin has inherited), and he secretly plans to exploit Martin's unique condition.
