Synopsis

Turkish metalworker Cafer moves his family from a village in Turkey to Germany, viewing it as a land of opportunity. However, their new life brings unexpected challenges. As they adjust, his wife becomes deeply involved in the women’s movement, leading to a profound change in her perspective.

MUBI's take

Silenced by censorship for decades, Korhan Yurtsever’s Black Head has re-emerged as a powerful testament to resilience. Gloriously restored and showcased at the 2023 Berlinale, this 1979 gem traces the odyssey of Turkish immigrants in Germany, with a focus on political awakening among women.
