"What remains of love" - Premiere at the Hamburg Film Festival

On Wednesday evening, the feature film "Was von der Liebe bleibt" by Kanwal Sethi, produced by Rohfilm, celebrated its premiere at the Hamburg Film Festival. 

Ilyas (Serkan Kaya) and Yasemin (Seyneb Saleh) are lovers - until Yasemin is shot dead by a stranger in the café they share. Ilyas' life and that of their daughter Senna (Amira Demirkiran) falls apart completely. And when the police begin to link him and his dead wife to the crime, Ilyas no longer understands the world. The longer the suspicions continue, the more he asks himself: was Yasemin really the woman he loved?

A beautiful, finely observed and superbly acted movie that tells and shows love with all its challenges and in all its beauty.
At the same time, the movie has great political relevance, as it tells of structural racism without ever highlighting it. It is simply there, like something normal that is part of everyday life. And it is for far too many people, and this narrative style makes it vividly palpable. We have to get to it!
To be seen in cinemas from April 2024.
