Bülent Öztürk, Belgium, 2013, 15’

Twenty-two-year-old Dilan pays for her forbidden love for a young man in a neighbouring village with her life. She has shamed the family and, therefore, must die at the hands of her brothers. As tradition will have it, the killing must be compensated. Because of this, six-year-old Emine is given to Dilan’s relatives.
