With the support of her family elders, her father allowed her to study painting at the School of Fine Arts. However, Afife's heart was set on theater.

With the support of her grandfather, the Pasha, and her childhood friend and lover, Dr. Ziya, Afife stood up to her father. She could not suppress her desire for much longer.
