Edge of Heaven
(Auf Der Anderen Seite)
Director: Fatih Akin
World 2007 Drama
121 minutes
Set in the world of Turkish immigrants in Germany, this is a carefully patterned
narrative of parallels, echoes and fateful encounters that reflects on the
relationships between parents and children, and on duty, obligation, sacrifice
and redemption, and above all on the nature of family, exile, roots and national identity.
Won the best screenplay at Cannes.
"… a movie rooted in reality that attains great moral and spiritual power"
