The Story

As detectives pursue a serial killer who commits fairy tale-like murders, they realize that the victims are not so innocent and that the murders have a social message. When all the evidence points to a kindergarten teacher as the killer, the detectives disagree on who the real culprits are, and the tale of the Bad Wolf becomes a moral dilemma that will resonate across the country.

Characters

AYLİN AYTEKİN

Aylin, a workaholic detective, is a lonely woman who lost custody of her daughter to her ex-husband. Aylin, who has various problems she can’t control, is a good liar herself, and her greatest talent is her ability to instantly recognize those who lie to her.

ŞEHRAZAD KIZILTAN

Şehrazad, a kindergarten teacher, has overcome the traumas of her childhood too late and will do anything to prevent what happened to her from happening to other children. She commits her first murder against the parents of one of her students and soon turns into a wolf who writes her own fairy tale.

Assigned to work on the Bad Wolf case with Aylin, Çetin has a laxity that allows him to bend the rules when necessary and a love for his profession.

Fahrettin, the Chief of the Homicide Bureau, is a well-respected police commissioner who is about to retire. Fahrettin’s greatest fear is that his “honor” will be jeopardized, despite the fact that he believes his career will end on a high note once the Bad Wolf murders are solved.

The Truth Is...

The Wolf’s Tale seeks to make a judgment about the high number of murders of women and children in Turkey through the eyes of a kindergarten teacher who takes justice into her own hands. The story, which shows the audience that violence against violence will not solve anything after providing them with the satisfaction of the said violence, also calls into question the impact of fairy tales we hear as children on social norms.
