Holiday, GFT

2 – 5 August, 2019
Young and beautiful Sascha discovers her dream life of luxury, recklessness and fun comes at a price when she is welcomed into the “family” of her drug lord boyfriend at his holiday villa in the port city of Bodrum on the Turkish Riviera. Physical and psychological violence are a way of life for this gangster family, but when the velvet veneer is stripped raw to the bone, Sascha’s eye drifts towards the “normal” life she is leaving behind – is it possible she could still be accepted by polite society? An unflinching study of female oppression, Holiday is daring filmmaking that asks crucial questions.
Please note: Holiday contains a sequence of flashing lights which might affect customers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.
