Öğrenci İşleri
Kısmet, who struggles to run her father's legacy (a valuable piece of land), always refuses her contractor brother İsmet's insistence that she buy the land. Until she reaches the brink of bankruptcy and accepts her brother's bet: If İsmet wins, he will buy the land; if Kısmet wins, the tutoring center’s debts will be paid off, and the medical expenses for the poor student’s brother will also be covered. Which class will win more exams? The construction worker İsmet, who formed his class ("Titans") by paying the university, or the educator Kısmet, whose class ("L") consists of students who have failed the exam for three years? To make matters worse, the mentor teacher Kısmet relied on was kidnapped by the fugitive Bobinci Nuri, and thus the exam motivation techniques are now being taught by a prisoner.
