The Story
When We Leave is a powerful tale that follows a young Turkish woman’s complicated battle to emancipate herself from an abusive Muslim husband and regain her personal freedom. She leaves Istanbul to return to her family in Berlin. With little support and a young son in tow, she is forced to risk her life, and sacrifice her family’s love, in the name of the independence she so deeply desires.
