Synopsis

Kivilcim (Evrim Alasya) is a single mother who has two daughters Doga (Sila Turkoglu) and Cimen (Selin Turkmen). She is a strong and independent woman who works as a school manager. She wants her daughters to have a good education, a good job, and a career.

Kivilcim lives together with her mother, and two daughters. Her life turns upside down when her elder daughter Doga discloses that she wants to get married to a conservative man.

Doga is a university student who studies dentistry. She has been dating Fatih (Dogukan Gungor) who is a businessman. Doga and Fatih have different social backgrounds and for this reason, it is not easy to disclose their relationship to their families.

When Doga learns that she is pregnant, she decides to get married to Fatih even though she knows that it would be a life-changing decision. Doga and Fatih have nothing to do but disclose their relationship to their families. Even though their families are totally different in their life views, they believe that they would be happy if they continue to love each other without listening to their families.

Doga decides to introduce Fatih to her family but never says that his boyfriend’s family is very conservative. She tries to postpone disclosing this fact as much as possible.

After Kivilcim meets her future son-in-law, she understands that he is not appropriate for her family. She is determined that Fatih cannot make her daughter happy. At the same time, Kivilcim wants her daughter to finish her university education first before getting married.

Kivilcim is very attached to modern principles. She has raised her daughters with these modern principles. She thinks that her daughter should marry a man who shares similar principles. She thinks that a young couple cannot become happy if they have different worldviews. Hence, she does her best to persuade her daughter to end her relationship with Fatih.

On the other hand, Fatih is very attached to conservative values. His father Abdullah is a very strong father who wants everyone in the family to act in accordance with his wishes. He has a very successful family business and works together with his younger brother Omer (Baris Kilic) and his two sons Fatih and Mustafa (Emrah Altintoprak). At the same time, Abdullah (Settar Tanriogen) wants all her sons to live in the same house even if they are married.

When the families learn that Doga is pregnant, they approve of this marriage even though they do not want to. Fatih’s family goes to Doga’s family to ask for the girl’s hand. Kivilcim is shocked when she personally meets her co-in-laws. Modern and secular Kivilcim finds herself hopeless when she meets Fatih’s religious family, with a headscarf-wearing mother and sister.

Cranberry Sorbet (Kizilcik Serbeti) tv series story is about a young girl Doga who falls in love with Fatih from a conservative family whose values conflict with those of her mother. Will Doga and Fatih become happy even though they come from different backgrounds? Will Kivilcim eventually approve of her daughter’s marriage? Will Kivilcim get along with her sisters-in-law? Will Doga get used to her new life?
