Almost Married - Official Trailer

Documentary by Fatma Bucak & Serghio Fergnachino, 2010, 60'

When she was 20, Fatma ran away from Turkey and her authoritarian father to Italy, to gain her freedom. Her photographic work concerns the misfortune of the women in her family. She now wants to marry her Italian boyfriend Davide and returns to Turkey to face her father.
She had no choice, but she still believes arranged marriages are best. “Love makes you blind,” says Fatma’s father, who contends that the family would never make a wrong decision.” This offers Fatma little hope, and the tension is obvious on Davide’s face when he and Fatma prepare to ask her hand in accordance with the proper, traditional custom. Will Fatma’s father say yes?
