While he’s arguing with his wife, in a moment of madness Oray pronounces the talag, a ritual formula of repudiation. Stuck between love and faith, the young German Muslim enters a deep crisis. In the vein of social cinema, a wonderfully accurate first movie.

“A Macedonian gypsy of Ottoman origin”, Oray lives in Germany. By repeating the word talag three times, which in Islamic law invokes divorce, he changes his life. Relying on a mixture of young talent and non-professional actors, the moviemaker chooses a naturalist approach to address his characters and their relationships. A subtle first movie that avoids all the clichés and that tackles Islam to readjust its image. Utterly captivating!
