Head-On
DramaRomance121 min
In Hamburg, a young woman desperate to escape her family’s restrictions proposes a sham marriage to a self-destructive widower twice her age. Birol Ünel is the alcoholic, middle-aged outsider who agrees to the arrangement; opposite him, Sibel Kekilli is the young bride trying to carve out a life on her own terms. What begins as a practical deal between two Turkish Germans starts to shift as freedom, desire, and jealousy complicate the bargain they thought they understood.
