ABOUT THE FILM: In German and Turkish with English subtitles. 17-year-old Hazal is a Turkish-German teen living in Berlin. Her biggest dream: to be given a chance at a future outside of her parents’ bakery. Despite her best efforts to find an apprenticeship, her mediocre grades and numerous rejected applications leave her with few options. For her 18th birthday she wants to escape the everyday grind and hit the clubs with her friends. But the night’s celebration is cut short after the girls are turned away by a bouncer at a dance club. When the teens are harassed in the subway on their way home, the situation escalates and Hazal’s frustration about her rejections erupts into a fatal incident. Forced to flee to Turkey, a country she hardly knows, Hazal must survive at all costs. Based on the award-winning-novel Ellbogen by Fatma Aydemir, Özarslan’s debut feature is a skillfully crafted and intense portrait of a young woman struggling to hold her ground in a society that seems to cast her aside.
