After tragically losing her husband, Sultan, a widow grappling with grief and loneliness, announces her intention to remarry. This unexpected decision throws her family into turmoil. Her son Nevzat, deeply rooted in tradition, vehemently opposes his mother's desire, fearing societal disapproval in their small town. Even her daughter Reyhan, while supportive, believes her mother is acting too hastily.

Refusing to be confined by societal expectations and the grief of her loss, Sultan embarks on a hilarious and heartwarming journey of self-discovery and independence. She defies societal norms by entering the male-dominated business world with a touch of mischievous wit.

Sultan's bold actions and witty comebacks inspire other women in the town to break free from their traditional roles and embrace their own independence. They join her in finding their own voices and economic empowerment while sharing laughter and camaraderie along the way.

"Fate" is a film about resilience, female empowerment, and the power of breaking free from societal constraints with a healthy dose of humor.
