German Film Series: Spring 2005

To coincide with the weekend conference, Finding the Foreign, (http://german.berkeley.edu/ftf/index.htm), there will be a screening of the film "Gegen die Wand" (2004) the evening before.

Cahit and Sibel, both Germans with Turkish roots, marry formally to allow Sibel to break out of the strict rules of her conservative family. They share a flat, but she claims an independant sex life. Cahit takes that very easy in the beginning, but when he envies one of her lovers he kills him and has to go to prison.
