Elaha (15)
★★★ A sexually candid, seriously intentioned drama about a young Kurdish woman who feels she has to surgically ‘restore’ her virginity before her wedding. ~ The Guardian.
---
Milena Aboyan’s feature debut is a compelling character portrait and feminist journey of identity and self-discovery, powered by Bayan Layla’s astonishing performance, portraying Elaha with exuberance and empathy.
The wedding of Elaha, a 22-year-old Kurdish-German woman, is just weeks away.
Her future husband believes she is still a virgin.
Convinced she must restore her supposed innocence or she will bring great shame to her family, Elaha investigates the possibility of hymen reconstruction.
