The Buzz:

Plot: A German widower (Kurtiz) of Turkish descent invites a prostitute and fellow Turk (Köse) to be his live-in girlfriend. The widower’s son (Davrak) at first disapproves, but before you know it, dad is accusing son of having an affair. The prostitute suddenly dies, prompting the son to travel to Istanbul to find her long-lost daughter (and maybe himself).

Instead Of: Exotic locations? Plots twists aplenty? Top that Indiana Jones!

Sleeper Potential: Hands down, it’s the German-language Turkish immigrant movie of the summer.

Popcorn Alternative: Turkish coffee, before this slow-paced flick.

Indie Extras: Very nice!

Won the Prix du Scenario at Cannes Film Festival, plus a bazillion other European awards.

Was Germany’s submission for Best Foreign Film at the 2007 Academy Awards
