Rather because of the emptiness of the images behind the depicted violence. I realized that I was not interested in the German view of a Turkish tragedy. "Only one woman" seems to me like a series of empty moments. I might as well read the "Spiegel". The plot: On the sidewalk in front of a Kreuzberg apartment building lies a corpse. "That's me"; says the voice from the off. "My brother shot me". It is the voice of Harun Aynur Sürücü telling her own story. Like an elegy and that's the sound of Sherry Hormann's film. The case of Sürücü, who still remembers it, brought about a media spectacle. Turkish honor killing. Then came the book "Ehrenmord" by Matthias Deiss. We notice; not without risk to film such a case. Especially tricky: A German author and a German director give Sürücü their own voice. The plot is structured chronologically. It begins in 1998. We know the story. The 15-year-old Aynur, who of course wears a KOPFTUCH, has to leave high school at the request of her parents. She is WITHDRAWED in Turkey. High pregnant, she flees from her brutal husband back to Kreuzberg. Back to the family, who lives in a 3 room apartment crowded together. Aynur has to take the baby to the storeroom. There, of course, she also learns MISSBRAUCH from her brother. We notice that all the themes we expect from a migration drama are set. But where did Matthias Deiss and Sherry Hormann get their knowledge about the inner life of a Turkish family from? Sure it wasn't compiled from various newspaper articles? Well, only one woman can be seen as a family psychogram. With a strong leading actress: Almila Bagriacik. It is thanks to her that Aynur is not only a victim, but also a strong woman (as always in such migration dramas). What remains? An abundantly confused film; a hollow spectacle that pretends to be able to contribute something to the theme. But it can't.
