On this point the two brothers will face

A man (Simon Abkarian) expects the emergency physician; his wife is dying. It could be saved. Unfortunately, Simon, the doctor (Pascal Elbé), can't and his wife died. The man does not understand. For him, the emergency doctor is guilty of penalizing anyone in danger. To the end, it will ignore the truth: in this city fearful by the violence, the doctor was attacked by a band of young people who, from the roof of a building, have balanced a Molotov cocktail in his car. It is for this that it did not come.

Without the heroic intervention of the Bora (Samir Makhlouf) young, Simon would be dead. The problem is that Bora himself threw the Molotov cocktail on the car of the doctor. After that, taken of remorse, he went out it of his car at the risk of his own life.

Because Bora is not a bad boy, on the contrary. Good student, brother and exemplary son, it is left to lead without really realizing the consequences of his action. And when the grateful Republic will want to give a medal to Bora, he cannot keep his secret. He reveals the truth to his mother, Sibel (Ronit Elkabetz), who orders him to remain silent and to visit at the invitation.

On the way to the Department which must be conducted the ceremony, the family is assaulted by former comrades of Bora, that this changes the determination of Sibel. This character woman raises her two children alone. Of an iron fist, she leaves them nothing pass. She has an idea in mind, integrate and leave the city. This silence is mandatory.

In charge of the investigation into the assault of his brother, Atom (Roschdy Zem) will eventually discover the truth, namely the double gesture of Bora. Unlike Simon, more humanistic, Atom has no indulgence to offenders. It is even rather partisan of the strong manner. On this point, the two brothers will face. While Simon is close to the mother of Bora, Atom must choose: can he close the eyes and let the young man in freedom During this time, a wounded man, made drunk with pain by the death of his wife, prowl...

For his first film behind the camera, Pascal Elbé strike strong entry. "Head of Turkish" manages to be effective without descend into caricature. Mounted "cut", he captures the attention as soon as the first images to continue on a strong pace, accelerated by the choice at the same time follow the fates of several characters. In choral form, this nervous film is given to the style of Paul Haggis ("Collision", "in the Valley of Elah") or Alejandro Iñàrritu ("21 grams", "babel"). Worn by actors fair, aware of the issue of the project, "Head of Turkish" brews a variety of topics related to immigration, integration, the memory, at the family responsibility. The fact that Simon and Atom are original Armenian, Bora and Sibel, Turkish adds depth to the perspective. His first film, Pascal Elbé said that he wanted not a clever subject to "pitcher" easily. It is earned.
