Head-On (2004)
Cahit, quadragénaire aux tendances suicidaires, tente d'oublier son mal de vivre à grand renfort de drogue et d'alcool. La jeune et belle Sibel est en rupture de ban. Elle aime trop la vie pour faire une musulmane accomplie, ce que désirent tant ses parents. Afin de fuir son entourage, elle feint de se suicider. Mais à la place de la liberté, elle trouve l'infamie. Seul le mariage pouvant la sauver, Sibel demande à Cahit, qu'elle connaît à peine, de l'épouser. Il accepte à contrecoeur, ne sachant s'il le fait pour la sauver ou pour donner enfin quelque relief à son existence. Peu à peu, leur vie commune si artificielle va céder la place aux sentiments...
