Movie Screening: "Auf der Anderen Seite"

Liebe Mietglieder,

NUS' German Language Society will be screening a German movie on Tuesday, 9th of February! Do invite your friends and join us! And read on for more details!


About the Film

Auf der Anderen Seite is a film directed by a Turkish-German director Faith Atkins. With this film, Faith Atkins won the Best Director at Golden Orange Film Festival. It also won the prize for Best Screenplay at the 60^th Cannes Film Festival in 2007 and LUX prize for European cinema by European Parliament.

Synopsis (English)

Nejat seems disapproving about his widower father Ali's choice of prostitute Yeter for a live-in girlfriend. But he grows fond of her when he discovers she sends money home to Turkey for her daughter's university studies. Yeter's sudden death distances father and son. Nejat travels to Istanbul to search for Yeter's daughter Ayten. Political activist Ayten has fled the Turkish police and is already in Germany. She is befriended by a young woman, Lotte, who invites rebellious Ayten to stay in her home, a gesture not particularly pleasing to her conservative mother Susanne. When Ayten is arrested and her asylum plea is denied, she is deported and imprisoned in Turkey. Lotte travels to Turkey, where she gets caught up in the seemingly hopeless situation of freeing Ayten.

Synopsis (Deutsch)

Als der Witwer Ali die Prostituierte Yeter überredet, bei ihm einzuziehen, ist sein Sohn Nejat irritiert. Nejat taut erst auf, als er erfährt, dass sie ihrer Tochter Ayten regelmäßig Geld für ihr Studium schickt. Nach Yeters plötzlichem Tod reist Nejat in die Türkei, um Ayten zu suchen. Die politische Aktivistin Ayten ist jedoch vor der türkischen Polizei nach Deutschland geflüchtet und bei einer jungen Frau, Lotte, untergetaucht. Als sie von der Polizei aufgegriffen und in die Türkei zurückgeschickt wird, macht sich Lotte auf die Suche nach der Freundin.
