In the gripping new series My Name Is Farah, we meet Farah, a woman whose life has been turned upside down. Fleeing from Iran, Farah lands in Istanbul, pregnant and alone.
Once a respected surgeon, she’s forced to abandon her career and work as a cleaner to survive—and to protect the one person who means everything to her: her son, Kerim.
Kerim isn’t just any child. He suffers from a rare congenital illness known as Primary Immunodeficiency Disorder (PID), making him highly vulnerable to infections.
With no one else to rely on, Farah becomes both his mother and his doctor. Every decision she makes, every risk she takes, is for him.
But everything changes one night when Farah witnesses a murder while on a cleaning job. The man behind the crime? Tahir Lekesiz—a cold, loyal enforcer in a dangerous criminal family. He's not used to making decisions from the heart, but something about Farah and her innocent son shakes him.
Suddenly, Farah is caught in a deadly moral dilemma: does she stay silent to protect her child or seek justice and risk everything? And Tahir, for the first time in his life, must choose between obeying his ruthless boss or protecting a woman he barely knows.
Episodes 1 to 3 set the stage for a tense, emotional drama filled with secrets, survival, and unexpected bonds.
Farah is strong, smart, and fiercely protective, but her new world is anything but forgiving. And in the shadows of Istanbul’s underworld, every move could be her last.
My Name Is Farah is not just a story of survival—it's a story about how far a mother will go to protect her child, and how one fateful night can change everything.
