Fatih The Conqueror

dir. by Onur Yagiz, Turkey
runtime: 15 min
This Saturday is a Turkish wedding day at Espace Venise (France). Huddled in a car in the parling lot, Fatih, 21, wants to get married. He has set his sights on Ipek, Recep’s sister. But neither Murat, his best friend, nor Recep, nor even Ipek are aware of this yet. Ce samedi, c’est jour de mariage turc à l’Espace Venise. Recroquevillé dans une voiture sur le parking, Fatih, vingt-et-un ans, veut se marier. Il a jeté son dévolu sur Ipek, la sœur de son ami Recep. Mais ni Murat, son meilleur ami, ni Recep, ni même Ipek ne sont encore au courant.
