Transformation

The story

Malika, a transgender woman, and Mohamed, are a young couple from Kabul, who fled their families honour killing plan and Taliban's fatal punishments, in order to be able to be together and cultivate their forbidden love for each other. Regardless of poverty, fear of deportation, daily harassment, sexual violence and gender identity crisis, their love towards each other, keep them fighting for a better life in Turkey. We follow their challenging journey and transformation from scratch through registration for Turkish residency, seeking help in NGO's and even "adopting" a new member to their self-made family from the streets. As their life seems to get better from the outside, unexpected and darker perspectives surface, and leave the audience to question the muddy waters of ethics between victimhood and becoming a perpetrator.
