About this show
Follows a young woman named Deniz facing afflictions of sexual assault by her boyfriend Emir, coinciding with the withdrawal of the Istanbul Convention. This treaty signed in Istanbul is relevant across Europe, meant to protect women from sexual and domestic violence. Otuz bir (31) is a slang word that means to masturbate in Turkish. Turks laugh and see it as a joke, but like every joke, it carries a dark truth. Otuz Bir tells the story of Deniz’s journey exploring masturbation as a means to heal sexual trauma by meeting her vagina (yes, literally!) and reconnecting with herself.
