SYNOPSIS:
A film about a prolonged moment of longing, hope and melancholy.
Nejat is a professor in a German university, specializing in Goethe. He is estranged from his own Turkish origins - but the short-lived relationship of his lonely father Ali (Tuncel Kurtiz) with a middle-aged, Turkey-born prostitute Yeter (Nursel Köse) will lead Nejat toreturn to his motherland on a quest for Yeter's daughter Ayten (Nurgül Yesilçay). Meanwhile, the politically active Ayten flees Turkey for Germany in search of her mother, and begins an affair with German student Lotte (Patrycia Ziolkowska).

In The Edge of Heaven, different characters' paths cross - or sometimes fail to cross - in unexpected ways, as East and West, love and hate, adolescence and adulthood, life and death are all shown to run in parallel along the same edge. With ensemble performances as intense as its drama, The Edge of Heaven leaves the viewer, like Nejat, sitting and waiting in patient awe for an end that will blow in either heavenly reconciliation or hellish oblivion.
