ELAHA: Dir: Milena Aboyan, 2023, 115 min Milena Aboyan's feature film debut about 22-year-old German-Kurdish Elaha takes us to the crossroads between unconditional love for her family and the desire for a self-determined life. Shortly before her wedding to Nasim, Elaha is confronted with the expectations of those around her to enter the marriage as a virgin. She desperately searches for ways to fake her virginity in order to preserve her family's reputation. Elaha is an intensely told story about the struggle for sovereignty over one's own female body amidst the tensions of cultural traditions.
