Please note: all tickets have now been allocated.

Edge of Heaven is the fifth feature from acclaimed German-born Turkish director Fatih Akin.

Nejat, a Turkish professor of German literature living in Bremen travels to Istanbul on a quixotic quest to find the daughter of his father's former partner. Through his search Nejat discovers that the wounds and scars of the past can only be healed by a mix of life-altering events and the passage of time.

Juggling timely themes of globalisation and miscommunication, this evocative and profoundly moving film bridges two different cultures and two diametrically varied races as it moves between Turkey and Germany.

Australia Talks Movies is a regular feature on ABC Radio National when MovieTime presenter Julie Rigg joins Australia Talks host Paul Barclay to discuss film. The discussion around Edge of Heaven — including your comments—will take place at 6pm on Thursday 1 May.
