What experiences have they had? What have they accomplished? What would they rather not have done?

Kingdom of Bhutan, 2006. Modernization has finally arrived. Bhutan becomes the last country in the world to connect to the internet and television, and now the biggest change of all: democracy. To teach the people how to vote, the authorities organize a mock election, but the locals seem unconvinced. Traveling to rural Bhutan where religion is more popular than politics, the election supervisor discovers that a monk is planning a mysterious ceremony for the election day.

Hazal’s greatest wish is to have a life. In spite of many applications, she isn’t invited to a single job interview. Instead, she is stuck in a Job Centre training program that fails to open up any new opportunities for her. But on her 18th birthday, Hazal feels powerful. It is like the old days when she and her friends believed they could achieve anything as long as they stuck together. It’s only when they’re queueing to get into a hip club that Hazal feels they don’t belong there. And she’s right. The bouncer refuses to let them in. On their way home, they’re verbally abused by an arrogant student. The situation escalates, Hazal’s frustration about all the rejections erupts into a fatal act. Hazal flees headlong to Istanbul, a strange city in a country unknown to her. There, she has to survive on her own, no matter what the cost. Ellbogen tells the story of a young woman who is pushed out of society and has to reset the course of her life. We want to run through the night with her; we want to know what happens next – for her, and for us all.

Lia, a retired teacher, has made a promise to find out what happened to her long-lost niece, Tekla. When Lia learns from a neighbour, Achi, that Tekla might have left their Georgian homeland and be living in Turkey, Lia and Achi set off together to find her. Arriving in Istanbul, they discover a beautiful city full of connections and possibilities. But searching for someone who never intended to be found is harder than they expected – until they meet Evrim, a lawyer fighting for trans rights. As Lia and Achi weave their way through the city’s backstreets, Tekla starts to feel closer than ever. Levan Akin’s fourth feature film is filled with an impressive emotional immediacy. Two initially hesitant strangers overcome not only ideological but also internal boundaries on their mission and join forces. The topography of the city plays just as important a role in this ode to humanity as the array of characters that live within it.

Gagarin erzählt die Geschichte von Youri (Alseni Bathily), der guten Seele einer Nachbarschaft, der an der Idee und an den Erinnerungen eines solidarischen Zusammenlebens festhält, bis es nicht mehr geht. Youri ist der selbsternannte Hausmeister einer 60er Jahre Siedlung in einer Vorstadt von Paris namens Gagarin. Obwohl er und seine Freunde sich größte Mühe geben, können sie nicht verhindern, dass die Stadt beschließt, dass die Siedlung abgerissen werden soll. Nach und nach ziehen alle weg, nur Youri hat für sich beschlossen zu bleiben. Erst mal findet Youri neue Freunde. Das Roma Mädchen Diana (Lyna Khoudri, The French Dispatch) ist fasziniert von seinem Einsiedlertum und der Dealer Dali (Finnegan Oldfield, Corsage) lebt auch noch irgendwo im Gebäudekomplex. Dann aber wird die illegale Siedlung von Dianas Familie von der Stadt aufgelöst. Und auch Dali verschwindet nach eine gewalttätigen Auseinandersetzung mit den Bauarbeitern, die Gagarin versiegeln und für die Sprengung vorbereiten. Als letzter Bewohner lebt Youri in der Siedlung wie in einem Raumschiff. Youri weiß, dass er sich in eine Sackgasse manövriert hat, und dass seine Umgebung immer lebensfeindlicher wird. Aber Youri ist stur, er will seine Mission, wie einen Parabelflug beenden und so arbeitet er an einem Countdown, an dessen Ende die Hochhaussiedlung Gagarin für ihn um Hilfe rufen soll. Leider zählt währenddessen noch ein anderer Countdown von 10 bis 0.
