They skillfully combine art and business, but their private and professional lives sometimes come into conflict. Managers and their assistants take us behind the scenes of the wild world of famous players; where laughter, emotions, intrigue, disappointment and tears constantly collide. Dicle (Ahsen Eroğlu), who entered this wild world for the first time, says that I am also in the war, starting from the bottom in his struggle against personalities whose egos are higher than their height.
