Synopsis
Ertan (Emre Bey) is a young and handsome Turkish guy who lives in North Macedonia together with his big family. He has been raised in Turkish culture so that he would not forget his roots.
Ertan lives in Istanbul for four years apart from his family in order to study at the university. He aims to become a radio programmer and for this reason, he studies radio and television in Istanbul. However, his family thinks that he has been studying architecture in Istanbul.
After four years, Ertan returns to Skopje, North Macedonia, and reunites with his family. Since he has not studied architecture, he cannot build a mosque that has been dreamt of his family for a long time.
Out of pure coincidence, Ertan bumps into a beautiful Macedonian girl Jovanka (Merih Ozturk). Jovanka has also studied radio and television in Istanbul and she wants to work in the entertainment sector.
The lives of Ertan and Jovanka intersect even though they have totally different families. Ertan’s family, particularly his uncle Suleyman (Erdal Ozyagcilar), is attached to Turkish culture. They want to keep a Turkish legacy alive which was destroyed after the Ottomans left the Balkans. On the other hand, Jovanka’s family, particularly her mother Elena (Suzan Akbelge) is attached to Macedonian culture and has prejudices toward Turkish people.
The story becomes more complicated when Ertan and Jovanka come across on different occasions and everyone assumes them as lovers. Even though Ertan and Jovanka try to keep away from themselves, they find themselves closer and closer.
Balkan Ninnisi (Balkan Lullaby) tv series story is about the lives of two different families who live in Skopje, North Macedonia. Will Ertan become successful at radio programming? Will Jovanka manage to work in the television sector even though her mother wants her to work in the public sector? Will Ertan and Jovanka start to develop some feelings for each other even though they come from very different families? Will Neriman and Suleyman accept a Macedonian girl as a bride? Will Elena accept a Turkish guy as a groom? Will Ertan’s family and Jovanka’s family eventually get along well with each other?
