Ayla is young, beautiful and
self-confident. She’s also independent and intends to
stay that way. But as a Turkish woman in Germany, she
has always found herself at the razor-sharp intersection
of liberal Western ways and conservative Muslim
conventions. Though she’s a beloved kindergarten
teacher, her night job in a bar, along with her
rejection of an arranged marriage, has poisoned her
relationship with her father. When Ayla meets the
dashing photographer Ayhan, romantic sparks begin to
fly, and Ayla feels that he may just be the right man
for her. A powerful look at family, traditions and
temptations.
Produced by Andreas Bareiss, Sven Burgemeister and
Gloria Burkert. (Burkert Bareiss Production by TV 60
Film) Director of Photography: Florian Schilling. In
competition from Beta Cinema.
