Film: When We Leave (Die Fremde)

“‘When We Leave' (Die Fremde) is the second film of the series "Darkness before Light" and tells the monstrous story of a plot to carry out an honour killing, but from the most intimate perspective imaginable. Director Feo Aladag makes no concessions in the gauging of the psychosocial mechanism, and avoids conventional deceptive tactics. Her story is a moving one and works because it deals with the world of young Turks who are categorized as ‘integrated’. There are no Islamists to be seen here.”

Director: Feo Aladag, colour, 119 min., 2010
