Hüseyin Tabak : 2012
Deine Schönheit ist nichts wert...
Twelve-year-old Veysel, who came to Vienna from Turkey with his parents, feels like a stranger in his new country. At school he doesn't understand the language, and at home his family is on the verge of crisis. The one bright spot on Veysel's horizon is his great love Ana, a classmate who knows nothing of his feelings. Only when Veysel meets his neighbour Cem, who teaches him how to say a poem in German for school, does he work up the courage to recite this to Ana, his secret love. The film draws on the contrast between the idyllic notions that fill the boy's head and the difficult living conditions within an immigrant community trying to integrate, whilst constantly under threat of deportation. Writer/director Hüseyin Tabak's graduation project from the Vienna Film Academy premiered in competition at Karlovy Vary International Film Festival 2012.
