Köy (OmU)

In the organizer's words:

Neno, Saniye and Hêvîn are Kurdish women from three generations. Neno is the director's grandmother. She is the mother of eleven children and commutes between Germany and Turkey. She follows political events in her home country with a clear attitude. Saniye runs a small neighborhood café in Berlin and dreams of one day living in her birthplace in Turkey. She realizes that she must be prepared to take risks if she wants to return to a country of political unrest and crisis. Hêvîn, the youngest protagonist, wants to become an actress and is politically active. But during her studies, she no longer has much time to fight against the oppression of the Kurdish minority.

Filmmaker Serpil Turhan spent three years conducting intensive interviews with Neno, Saniye and Hêvîn, which provide deep insights into their feelings and thoughts. Against the backdrop of the political changes in Turkey, Köy tells the story of the decisions the three women make for themselves and how life responds to them. A multi-layered film about the longing for belonging, home and security - and about the freedom of the self.
