Gelbe Briefe - Gewinner des goldenen Bären bei der Berlinale

In the organizer's words:

Derya (Özgü Namal) and Aziz (Tansu Biçer), a celebrated artist couple from Ankara, lead a full life with their 13-year-old daughter Ezgi - until an incident at the premiere of their new play changes everything. Overnight, they are targeted by the state and lose their job and their home. They move to Istanbul, where they stay with Aziz's mother for the time being.

While Aziz ekes out a living with odd jobs and sticks to his convictions, Derya looks for a way out that will make her financially independent. Gradually, the distance between them and their daughter grows until they have to decide between their values and their future together as a family.

The film "Yellow Letters" was awarded the Golden Bear at the Berlinale. This makes İlker Çatak the first German director in more than 20 years whose film has received the award.
