This box office success of a Turkish movie is important, especially after the troubles experienced in the cinema industry during the pandemic. Bergen is not only a movie about a singer, but also a movie about domestic violence against women. In this study, how the element of violence is handled in the film is examined through binary oppositions and discussed with the method of semiotic analysis. As a result of the examination, it was determined that domestic violence was presented in the film without being romanticized and thus it was not turned into a tool of justify in the eyes of the audience.
