With the screening of Kuma, Casa Árabe is officially starting its new season of Casa Árabe Cinema. This time around, we have scheduled a series of five titles in which women play the starring roles. They can be seen at Casa Árabe’s headquarters in Madrid and Córdoba thanks to our collaboration with the Festival 14,4 Km – Intercultural Dialogue Between the Shores of the Mediterranean.
The Film
Kuma means 'second wife' in Turkish. The film gives us a look inside the traditions of a Kurdish family living in Vienna, through its two main characters: young Ayse, brought up in a small town in the mountains of Turkey, and an older women, Fatma, who heads a large family in a mostly immigrant neighborhood in the city of Vienna. The film starts out with Ayse’s wedding celebration in the town where she lives, where everyone believes she has married the young and handsome Hasan. However, we eventually find out the truth: Ayse leaves Turkey to become the second wife of Mustafa, Hasan’s father. When she reaches her new home in Vienna, some of her husband’s older children turn their back on her, but Fatma, Mustafa’s first wife, takes her in as a worthy successor who will take care of the family when she is no longer around. The two women begin a very special friendship based on complete trust, but the relationship will be questioned when the family has to deal with a difficult twist of fate. About the Director
