Description: Sibylle – Turkish girl, who grew up in Hamburg. She loves too much life to live with the fate of a pious Muslim. To get rid of care of the family, she has to sign a fictitious marriage with a fellow countryman. The girl chooses Kahit.

Review: Ruthless in all respects picture of Fatih Akin’s “Head on the Wall ‘, of course, holds a special place not only in German and Turkish cinema, but also in world cinema.

The story reveals the problems of integration of migrants in Europe, their unwillingness to follow the laws and usages of the country in which the resident. Against the background of the believing family where her sister’s brother breaks his nose, relationships and Sibel Kahita look quite natural. For her, it’s a chance to fly away from the tight grip of the family, but for him … something different, something special, but, alas, he realized it was too late.

“Murder in the name of family honor”, which wayward Sibel did not foresee, but that she was able to escape, – a colorful illustration of the fact that some sections of society law – is an empty phrase, as they build their lives in the tradition, is not always fair, not always logical, often contradictory laws and morals.

I would like to emphasize the music in this film. Was very moved when he heard the song «I feel you» group Depeche Mode (line out of it you see in the header of review), and writhing in convulsions of happiness «Temple of love» band Sisters of Mercy. And without the Turkish music scene simply would lose its flavor.

The film Gegen die Wand is about love and fear of change your life, folly, cruelty and hope, faith, and the problems of modern society. On the problems of acute requiring action.
