U.S. title: The Edge of Heaven.
Correctly translated title: On the other side.
Two interrelated stories: 1) a Turkish-born professor living in Germany, his father and the prostitute who lives with the latter; 2) a Turkish student involved in an activist organization, who is forced to flee to Germany, and a German student with whom she starts a homosexual relationship.
The film lacks conflict: it flows too easily, with the characters assuming all too often a position of "peace, love and understanding"; still, it has qualities and is consistently watchable throughout.
