Shannah Laumeister's unconventional 2011 documentary turns its lens onto her muse-mentor relationship with Bert Stern, following his rise to fame as the first photographer to become a celebrity in his own right. Stern may be best known for The Last Sitting, his 1962 Vogue session with Marilyn Monroe just before her death, and for his fashion portraits of stars like Audrey Hepburn, Brigitte Bardot and Elizabeth Taylor, but his striking images also helped frame Madison Avenue's modern-advertising aesthetic.

Very sad story, yet shamefully still the truth in some cultures. A must to see.

Description

What would you sacrifice for your family's love? Your values? Your freedom? Your life?

German-born Umay flees from her oppressive marriage in Istanbul, taking her young son Cem with her. She hopes to find a better life with her family in Berlin, but her unexpected arrival creates intense conflict. Her family is trapped in their conventions. They are torn between their love for her and the traditional values of their community. Ultimately, they decide to return Cem to his father in Turkey. To keep her son, Umay is forced to move again. She finds the inner strength to build a new life for herself and Cem, but her need for her family's love drives her to a series of ill-fated attempts at reconciliation. What Umay doesn't realize is just how deep the wounds are and how dangerous her struggle for self-determination has become.

Running time: 119 min.
