Overview
Why must a woman change her surname after marriage or divorce? This autoethnographic film explores the issue of women’s changing surnames in Turkey. Some women have taken their cases to the European Court of Human Rights to defend their legal and personal identities. What do men think about this? How do women feel? And what unfolds between the lines of these everyday experiences? The film seeks to make these struggles and emotions visible.
