Synopsis
An unpleasantly misogynistic, but lonely old man, Ali is only looking for company when he invites prostitute Yeter to move in with him. Yeter agrees, happy to leave the brothel, but begins to realise that she has exchanged one cage for another when Ali has a heart attack. She and his son, university professor Nejat, share caring duties, and develop a friendship, but when a drunken Ali tries to force Yeter into a sexual act, an accident leads to him spending time in prison. Driven by guilt, Nejat goes to Istanbul, where he tries to find Yeter's daughter, Ayten who is missing. Nejat spends time in the city, and decides to stay and run a German bookshop rather than returning to Hamburg. But what Nejat doesn't realise is that political activist Ayten is already in Germany, having fled the Turkish police. Ayten hides in plain view, pretending to be a university student, sleeping through lectures and scrounging money from her 'fellow' students; she is befriended by Lotte, who, charmed by Ayten's story and political idealism, invites her to stay, to the annoyance of Lotte's conservative mother Susanne, and the two young women become lovers. However, Ayten is arrested and after nearly a year attempting to claim asylum, deported to Turkey, where she is sent to prison. Lotte, heartbroken, follows, and it's in Istanbul that she meets Nejat.

La he visto este fin de semana , y me ha parecido una película super intensa, muy buena. Pero a mí que me gustan los finales felices...

intensa ... asi es como la describiria yo, de aquellas que al salir del cine te dejan el corazon en un puño y luego te obligan a reflexionar.
mejor verla en VOSE que totalmente doblada, pierde mucho de la sensacion que te embarga cuando estas en otro pais que no comprendes y cuyo idioma te hace imposible comunicarte ... ya no digamos si ademas necesitas algo ..
un gran drama.
Cuando la vi en el cine hace unos meses me quede impresionada, nunca vi un beso tan electrizante. Es una película con contenido político, y excelente.
