Wie die Nelken
Like Carnations
Emine Demir
One hot summer day, Şirin drives through Berlin-Neukölln to pick up her aunt Bihar. The two embark on a road trip to the countryside. Once there, family secrets, memories of Bihar’s origins and conflicts over identity and queerness surface. Bihar reveals her long-kept secret before the pair continue their journey together the next morning. A journey filled with memories and unspoken truths.
