I Was, I Am, I Will Be
2019, German. Directed by İlker Çatak.
While Kurdish gigolo Baran dreams of a future in Europe, German pilot Marion is struggling to come to terms with her cancer diagnosis.

After a promising beginning, a shared future seems well within their reach. But things turn out not to be quite as simple as that.
