Hüllen

2010 | Documentary | 73 min | MA Film

Directed by Maria Müller

Collection: Degree Films 2011

Three muslim women, three generations, one family - "Hüllen" portraits Sevim (78), Emel (49) and Sumeyye (26). Emel Zeynelabidin who takes off the headscarf after 30 years of wearing one, is the story's central point.
With a focus on the tangled web of family relationships, the movie broaches the issues of religion and identity and shows facets of the interplay of veiling and unveiling. Emel shares her personal view on the border zones between the canon of religion and individual responsibility, between dogmatism and tolerance.
