The story

Psychologist Eylem is preparing to marry and deeply loves her boyfriend, but her fiancé Okan leaves her, saying he is not ready for marriage. She moves alone into the home they had bought together in the Kurtuluş neighborhood and falls into depression over the heartbreak. Five neighbors in her apartment building try to help her. They include Vartanuş, who has spent her life caring for her bedridden father; Goncagül, whose mob-boss boyfriend keeps stringing her along; and Gülnur, who has become accustomed to her husband beating her, alongside her daughter Tülay, who suffers the same pain. Hairdresser Füsun tries to look at life optimistically.

Full plot (contains spoilers)

Psychologist Eylem (Belçim Bilgin) is a woman who is preparing to get married soon and deeply loves her boyfriend. But, in a surprise move, she moves into the home she and her fiancé Okan bought in the Kurtuluş neighborhood to live in together—all by herself, since Okan leaves her, saying he is not ready for marriage. In her new home in Saadet Apartment Building, Eylem falls into depression over her heartbreak. As five neighbors who seem to lead ordinary lives in the building try to help Eylem, they will experience events that turn their own lives completely upside down. Vartanuş (Demet Akbağ), who has spent her entire life caring for her bedridden father; Goncagül (Nihal Yalçın), who realizes that her mob-boss boyfriend is constantly stringing her along; Gülnur (Ayten Soykök), who has become thoroughly accustomed to her husband beating her for the sake of her children, and her daughter Tülay (Damla Sönmez), who suffers the same pain; and Füsun (Asuman Dabak), a hairdresser who tries to look at life through rose-colored glasses despite all this, will find Eylem trying to get back on her feet in Kurtuluş: The Last Stop. These women, opposed to every kind of violence, whether psychological or physical, will discover that they are stronger together.
