The Edge of Heaven Series: Film Comment Selects 2008 [Feb 14 - Feb 28] Director: Fatih Akin, Release: 2007, Runtime: 122 The director of 2005's Head-On continues his exploration of German-Turkish cross-cultural relations with this engrossing and moving double narrative in which hidden and missed connections and intertwined lives are framed by the deaths of two of the film¡¦s six protagonists. The narrative is set in motion by the death of Yeter, who works as a prostitute in Germany until she accepts the marriage proposal of elderly regular client Ali. Following Yeter's death, Ali's German-born son Nejat travels to Istanbul to search for Yeter's grown-up daughter Ayten, the film's pivotal character. Ayten, due to her membership in an underground Kurdish separatist group, has fled the country to seek political asylum in Germany, where middle-class student Lotte takes her in. The two girls become lovers, despite the misgivings of her mother Susanne, played by Hanna Schygulla. What follows is a complex series of crisscrossing events that changes the lives of the surviving characters forever as the story shifts back to Turkey. Co-production: Germany/Turkey
