English subs: Yellow Letters
“Yellow Letters” is the poignant new film by Oscar-nominated director İlker Çatak (Das Lehrerzimmer) about a censored Turkish artist couple. Although the story is set in Turkey, German cities serve as the surprising backdrop for this award-winning film, winner of the Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival.
When actress Derya and theater director Aziz lose their jobs due to government measures, the family is forced to move to Istanbul to live with Aziz’s parents. Together with their 13-year-old daughter Ezgi, they try to build a new life. But how do you hold on to your ideals in a society where censorship is increasingly on the rise? Yellow Letters is a poignant and timely drama about love, freedom, and the price of resistance.
