Direction: Fatih Akin
The much-accoladed German entry in the Cannes film festival is a moving tale of humanism that transcends nationality, ethnicity and borders. Needless to say, it’s an important document, loaded with lessons for our divisive times. And the fact that this story of death, loss and longing is told with marvellous restraint, only adds to its impact.
Nejat, a Turkish professor who teaches German in a German university finds his life changing after his father brings in a Turkish hooker into the house. Strangely, Nejat develops a tender bond with the woman after she tells him about her daughter in Turkey.
He sets out to find the daughter after the woman accidentally dies and ends up buying a bookstore in Istanbul, hoping to find the missing girl someday. But the girl, a political activist, has her own mission to find her mother, which leads her through circuitous paths that traverse strange places and forge uncommon bonds. This is art house cinema that is meant exclusively for cinema buffs who want to savour new wave delights.
