Yabancı

Yabancı follows Ozgur, a young woman born to a refugee family in France, who travels to Istanbul after her father's death. Her father's last wish was to be buried in his homeland, but the political climate complicates her efforts due to his loss of Turkish citizenship during the September 12 military coup.

As Ozgur embarks on her journey, she confronts not only the challenges of fulfilling her father's wishes but also her own identity. She encounters her father's and mother's relatives, each representing different facets of her heritage. A pivotal relationship develops with Ferhat, who significantly influences her understanding of herself and her family's history.

This film, with its focus on a woman's experiences and directed by a female filmmaker, adds to the representation of diverse narratives in contemporary cinema. Its exploration of personal and cultural conflict is relevant for collectors interested in international dramas that tackle complex social issues.
