An unlikely trio, an unshakeable friendship and family boundaries that prove deadly to breach.
A feature film about an unusual trio: DANIEL, a German photo-journalist in Istanbul without much knowledge about Middle Eastern values. CAN, a flamboyant, out and proud male belly dancer with lots of love and support from his family, and AHMET born to an eastern and conservative family whose quest for honesty and liberty results in a tragic end.
ZENNE Dancer has been inspired by the true story of Ahmet YILDIZ, who was murdered for being gay at the age 26 by his own father in 2008.
It wasn’t much but it was SO MUCH MORE at the same time… Watching this movie and realizing how narrow-minded our people are… It’s sad.
