Prominent Turkish-German filmmaker Fatih Akin (In July, Head-On) commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Armenian genocide with this expansive historical epic. An Armenian man from a small town in the Ottoman Empire is separated from his wife and twin daughters when the Ottomans enter WWI, but he survives the mass killings of 1915. After the war he hears that his daughters are still alive, so he embarks on an epic quest to Cuba and America to find them. “Has great intensity, beauty and sweeping grandeur.” –Martin Scorsese.
