Synopsis...
The fragile lives of six people connect on emotional voyages toward forgiveness and reconciliation in Germany and Turkey. Nejat disapproves of his widower father Ali's choice of prostitute Yeter for a live-in girlfriend. But changes his mind when he discovers she sends money home to Turkey for her daughter's education. Yeter's sudden death distances father and son. Nejat travels to Istanbul to find Yeter's daughter Ayten. However, political activist Ayten is already in Germany, having to flee the Turkish police. There, she meets Lotte who invites rebellious Ayten to stay in her home, a gesture not pleasing to her conservative mother. When Ayten is eventually arrested, she is deported and imprisoned in Turkey. Lotte travels to Turkey, where she gets caught up in the seemingly hopeless situation of freeing Ayten.    hide

Edhe of Heaven is great storytelling and riveting, full of sharp twists of fate that will catch you way off guard. Being set in Germany and Turkey makes it all the more fascinating. Don't be concerned tat it will be a 'precious' foreign film. It is a clever and emotional story with an ending that will have you wanting to talk to anybody afterwards. A perfect date movie if you want to actually talk to your date and then get squishy. With the great Fassbinder actress Hanna Schygulla who is subtle and brilliant as she was 40 years ago.
