A Regular Woman
A Regular Woman
Based on the tragic “honor killing” of Hatun Aynur Surucu in 2005, the film A Regular Woman portrays a glimpse of life for a free spirited young woman living with an ultra-conservative Turkish Muslim family in Berlin. After escaping a forced marriage in Turkey with her abusive cousin, Hatun provokes the ire of her family by embracing a westernized lifestyle. After enduring endless harassment, she finally leaves the family and attempts to survive alone with her child, with whom she had escaped Turkey while pregnant. The threats and harassment continue, with German authorities willing to do nothing unless a physical act of harm takes place. This soon materializes as the family decides to task Hatun’s youngest brother with a deed that would end the family’s “shame,” and thrust the horrific practice of honor killings into the national spotlight.
2019 | 90 min. | Germany | German w/English subtitles
Directed by Sherry Hormann

The Hollywood Reporter

“A unique non-fiction narrative anchored by Bagriacik’s riveting performance.”
“This is a serious, sympathetic attempt to engage with the life of a woman…”
