Naples today. Giovanna, a dedicated social worker, runs a reception shelter for disadvantaged children, genuine rampart against the Camorra’s stranglehold. When young Maria, wife of a Camorra member on the run, comes to settle on the premises of the shelter with her two kids, Giovanna is confronted with a moral choice that can destroy the sense of her work.

Agnese and Stefano are profoundly different. She is only seventeen, lives with her mother, a harsh and religious woman, and is about to take a vow of chastity before marriage. He is twenty-five, has a violent temper and a difficult past behind. He works as a security guard in a car park bordering a camp of Roma. Their unexpected meeting engenders a true sentiment, made of little stolen moments and mutual help. As their desire grows, Agnese is devastated by what she perceives as a betrayal of her ideals, and she takes an extreme decision in the hope of erasing her committed sin.

Palme d’or-winning unfinished “YOL” is 35 years later still Turkey’s most important film and with its topics more contemporary than ever. Finally, it has been restored and completed for the occasion of Yilmaz Güney’s 80th birthday this year.“YOL – The Full Version” honors what the great actor, author, director, producer and prisoner wasn’t free to complete during his lifetime. It presents on the screen the entire content of the script that Yilmaz Güney wrote in prison. Thanks to intense research, film material that was thought lost was found, digitised and edited according to Yilmaz Güney’s original editing plan. Image and sound have been accurately restored to their authentic condition. “YOL – The Full Version” recounts, as in Yilmaz Güney’s original script, six, rather than five stories about Turkish and Kurdish prisoners. Each of them attempts to get his life back on track during a week’s leave from prison. For 35 years, the fate of these men and their wives have moved audiences around the world. “YOL – The Full Version” is a piece of Turkish-Kurdish film history that is more contemporary than ever. The work is a timeless portrait of an archaic society whose concepts of honor and moral compass are the downfall of men and women alike. |
