Fatih Akin : 2014
Kesik
Mardin, 1915: the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire which resulted in the forced migration and diaspora of the Armenian minority. One night, the Turkish police rounds up all the Armenian men in the city, including the young blacksmith, Nazaret Manoogian, who is separated from his family. He becomes a forced labourer and only survives the mass murder by chance and an act of kindness. Years later, he learns that his two daughters may still be alive. He becomes fixated on the idea of finding them and sets off to track them down. His search takes him from the Mesopotamian deserts to the sea, to Havana and the barren and desolate prairies of North Dakota, always looking for clues that might lead him to his children. On this odyssey, he meets all varieties of humanity: angelically good characters, but also the devil in human form. Fatih Akin's feature premiered in competition at Venice International Film Festival 2014.
