Sakli Yüzler / Hidden Faces

A Turkish movie about so called "Honor Killings", crimes committed to safeguard the family honor. The film starts out with a film in the film. A documentary about honor killings gives all the background information and tells a horrible example of these killing. Through the movie the family of a Zuhre, a girl who should have been killed by a honor killing, finds out that she is still alive. Her uncle wants to fulfill his task and find and kill Zuhre. A race against the clock starts with the maker of the documentary who wants to safe Zuhre's life.
A thrilling movie that addresses a problem that still exists in modern Turkey and in the countries where Turks live. Though the movies is shocking, I try to have no moral judgment on the subject. Something that is nearly impossible for me as "family honor" doesn't exist in my vocabulary.
