Gelbe Briefe (Yellow Letters)

In the organizer's words:

The Berlinale winner YELLOW LETTERS now in theaters! With Özgü Namal, Tansu Biçer. Political drama by İlker Çatak. Golden Bear Berlinale 2026, now at the Tilsiter Lichtspiele cinema.

Derya (Özgü Namal) and Aziz (Tansu Biçer), a celebrated artist couple from Ankara, lead a fulfilled 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.

After the internationally acclaimed and award-winning film THE TEACHER'S ROOM, Oscar-nominated director İlker Çatak once again presents a gripping masterpiece. It centers on a couple who come under pressure from the arbitrariness of an authoritarian political system and have to choose between their ideals and conformity.

The marriage of Derya and Aziz is under pressure after losing their jobs because of state arbitrariness and moving to Istanbul to live with Aziz's parents. They and their 13-year-old daughter Ezgi have to redefine their way of life.
