Based On A True Story

a regular woman wedding scene

In A Regular Woman movie we get an inside look at what happens, when an arranged marriage ends with the tragedy of an honor killing. 

Any murder is hard to stomach, but it is especially hard to understand how a brother could kill his own sister. 

Clearly, this is not ok. 

The film tackles a difficult subject in a compassionate way that allows us to understand the tragic story of a life cut short.

Synopsis

Based on the tragic “honor killing” of Hatun Aynur Sürücü in 2005, the film portrays a glimpse of life for a free spirited young woman living with an ultra-conservative Turkish Muslim family in Berlin.

After escaping a forced marriage in Turkey with her abusive cousin, Hatun provokes the ire of her family by embracing a westernized lifestyle.

After enduring endless harassment, she finally leaves the family and attempts to survive alone with her child, with whom she had escaped Turkey while pregnant.

The threats and harassment continue, with German authorities willing to do nothing unless a physical act of harm takes place.

This soon materializes as the family decides to task Hatun’s youngest brother with a deed that would end the family’s “shame.”

This thrusts the horrific practice of honor killings into the national spotlight.
