Kino Weltsichten: Elaha

In the organizer's words:

DE | 2022 | Director: Milena Aboyan | Feature film | 110' | OVR

Elaha, a young German-Kurdish woman, is caught in a deep conflict between her connection to her family and her personal desires. She is engaged and the upcoming wedding puts her under pressure to prove her virginity. In order to comply with the traditional values and role expectations of Kurdish society, Elaha must constantly slip into different roles - as well as into the frilly festive dresses in which she dresses for every family celebration. An impressive first work about the long road to self-determination.
