The Edge of Heaven
Rating: NR
Synopsis:
This film showcases the lives and emotional arcs of six people - four Turks and two Germans - as their hopes and dreams become intertwined in a search for love and parents. As the characters travel between Turkey and Germany, they also travel through their own lives. The characters are detailed quickly, with the film far less interested in narrative than in the relationships it generates. Melodrama is never far from the surface and plot surprises are frequent. The film offers audiences a subtle yet emotionally engaging depiction of intertwining lives. Paternal, maternal, heterosexual and lesbian love is juxtaposed with questions of family and homeland. Rich and finely sketched relationships are the defining features of this poignant and at times devastating film.
