Life at the I-House

The movie for our Turkish Week, "White Angel" (Beyaz Melek), tells us the universal, ever-lasting drama of "old age" based on a social background where the director is aiming to reflect the brotherhood of the Turkish and the Kurdish people living in the south-east of Turkey.

Mala Ahmet, the old leader of a Kurdish tribe is suffering from cancer. While running away from the compulsory chemo-therapy in the hospital he suddenly finds himself in a nursery home where he is confronted with a different but cruel culture of life: The old people are left alone to their destiny while they wait for their death to come, whereas old people of his own village in the south-east, are treated with utmost care and tenderness by their relatives.
