The Edge of Heaven
Fatih Akin's inter-generational drama won both the Best Screenplay and Ecumenical Jury prizes at the Cannes Film Festival.

Akin's seamlessly woven narrative charts the fates of four Turkish and two German characters whose lives intersect in unexpected and ultimately transformative ways.

Hanna Schygulla (Werner Fassbinder's muse in key films of the 1970s such as The Marriage of Maria Braun) makes a welcome return to the screen in a role that is as brave as it is affecting.
