This movie, Gegen diiee Wand (Head on), is not to be missed. Probably one of the best love films ever made. Don't think of Pretty Woman now, because Gegen diie Wand shames conventional Hollywood romantic comediies with its fresh take on love and loss as rich as Rhett and Scarlett (Gone with the Wind).Title: Gegen diie Wand (German)/ Head on (English)
Language: Turkish and German/ English subtitles
IMDB rating: 8.1/ 10
Plot: Cahit is a German Turk in his 40's. He has given up with his life after his beloved wife's dthea, and he's living a miserable life right in the core of cocaine and excessive drinking. One night, he semi-intentionally crashes into a wall, and barely survives. At the hospital he's taken to, he meets a girl, Sibel, another German Turk who's tried to commit suicide. She's sick and tired of her family's ultra-traditional issues, and asks Cahit to carry out a white marriage with her out of the blue, so that she can become a married woman and get rid of her family's revolting pressure. Cahit is turned off by the idea at first, but then he agrees to take part in this plan. As Sibel tells him straightaway that she's interested in absolute freedom involving other men and he agrees, they live as roommates with separate private lives for a while. Then things take a different turn, and they're no longer two indifferent roommates. But their love story won't be anywhere as simple as any other... (IMDB).
