Umut Dağ : 2014
Cracks in Concrete
Ertan returns to his Viennese district after a ten-year prison sentence for second-degree murder. He's thirty-five and has lost all contact with his wife and children. Even his own brother doesn't want anything to do with him, regardless of the fact that he has matured and wants to steer clear of trouble. Teenager Mikail is about to make the same mistakes that put his hitherto unknown father Ertan behind bars. He thinks drug dealing will help fund his future as a famous rapper and spends a lot of time at the youth centre where he plans to record his first demo. To get closer to Mikail, Ertan takes on a job at the centre, and smiles to himself proudly as he secretly listens to rehearsals. Ertan's friends just can't understand where the old tough guy act has gone, but all he wants is to help Mikail get on the right track. Mikail has no clue who Ertan is. How do they both deal with hard realities when Mikail learns the truth? Umut Dağ's second feature is an intimate tale of forgiveness and acceptance in a fearful and lonely world. His film premiered at Berlin International Film Festival 2014.
