What remains of love
In his new work "What remains of love", Indian-German filmmaker Kanwal Sethi sheds light on the complex issue of the victims of the NSU. As he puts it in a director's statement, he tells of "institutional, systemic racism that is faceless and firmly anchored in the center of society". The anger at the discriminatory behaviour of the authorities, which posthumously criminalized the victims of the NSU crimes, and the grief of the bereaved served as the starting point.
"Was von der Liebe" is a fictional story:
lyas (Serkan Kaya) and Yasemin (Seyneb Saleh) have been lovers for fifteen years. Then something terrible happens: out of nowhere, Yasemin is shot dead by unknown assailants in an attack on their café. Ilya's life and that of their daughter Senna (Amira Demirkiran) are turned upside down. Ilyas loses his footing when he himself is suspected by the police and Yasemin is accused of leading a double life and supporting the banned PKK. The police investigate, but they have no answers. The longer these suspicions continue, the more Ilyas asks himself: Was Yasemin really the woman he loved? What remains of their love?
