Bliss (2007) is a Turkish drama centered around honor, tradition, and personal autonomy, focusing on heavy themes without obvious forced representation or overt identity politics. The characters feel driven by realism and their cultural context, rather than by checking diversity boxes. Some modern sensibilities do slip in to advance the plot, but narrative generally prevails over ideology.

The film critically examines traditional practices, religion, and family honor codes, often portraying them as oppressive or outdated. While this provides room for dramatic tension, it does come across as undermining or critiquing cultural foundations rather than celebrating or understanding them.

There's a clear sympathy for the protagonist challenging the culture’s moral codes, but at least some secondary characters provide a semblance of complexity and varying viewpoints, so it’s not entirely a one-note ideological affair. It could be more balanced, but it doesn’t go full caricature.
