Oray

Mehmet Akif Büyükatalay

In the presence of the director Mehmet Akif Büyükatalay and the producer Claus Reichel.

Break-ins, drugs and an ubridled temper have brought young Oray into prison, where he engages closely with the Muslim religious teachings. His dedication to religionplays a big part in his re-socialisation back in freedom. But he has one problem left: hotheads always stay hotheads. In a fight with his wife Burcu, Oray has lost his tempter once more and speaks the triple talaq, the intention for divorce. A break that can only be initiated by the husband and that has different interpretations in Islam. The Imam of his congregation sets a break of three months to question his rash behaviour.

 

His conflict of beliefs drives Oray to desperation: will he let the rest of his life be decided by the Quran or will he follow the love of his life?
