At the same time this is also an archetypal story of love for one's own hometown, of integrity and responsibility of the individual who, at the hardest trials of his own conscience and responsibility, chooses to take the more difficult path, in circumstances where others - the average and the conformist - abandon ship.

Kurdish Lover

2012

The Kurdish lover is Oktay, the man with whom I share my life. We went to his village in Kurdistan, a region brought to a standstill by war. At this place, loving someone can become confused with having a hold over them. It is with humor that the characters featured in this film find ways, within their community, to affirm that they truly exist. A shaman goes into trance in front of the television, a hermit dreams of marriage, a shepherdess wants to leave the top of the mountain, soldiers watch over the village, a man from Europe goes off to request the hand of a young woman. It is through these situations that we discover the reality of families doing what they can to find a way of living together, to take the best – or the worst – from each moment.
