Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.

Synopsis

Hazal is 17 and lives in Berlin. Her biggest wish: to be given a chance. For her 18th birthday she wants to escape the everyday grind and party with her friends. But a fatal incident changes everything. Hazal is forced to flee.

Our take

Awake to the tensions of multicultural Berlin and boldly indifferent to morality, this darkly compelling film has no use for easy answers. Adapting an award-winning novel for her fiction debut, Turkish-German director Asli Özarslan tells a startling story of cultural difference and outsider trouble.
