Crossing Europe

Faruk

1 hr. 37 min. | Drama | Pegi 13

Ninety-year-old Faruk becomes the protagonist of his daughter's film about the planned demolition of an apartment block in Istanbul. Faruk, who has lived there for decades, hopes to delay the demolition and does not miss any of the contractors' meetings. As the daughter films her father, the line between reality and fiction begins to blur. Based on real events and people, this hybrid between documentary and fiction helps to reveal an intimate father-daughter relationship and the changes that come with the years, both in human and urban life. Faruk, who has kept his cool, his judgement and his strong views, will encourage his contemporaries not to be afraid of old age and to face its threats with wisdom.
