In Istanbul 2014, the young nurse Asli becomes a political opponent by chance when she spontaneously hides a protestor from a police crackdown during a political protest outside the hospital. She helps him to leave the hospital unseen without considering the consequences her solidarity might have on her calm and peaceful family life in one of Istanbul’s wealthier districts. When the police invade her private life, Asli faces the threat of a political system as well as the limits of her husband’s solidarity. SADAKAT is a fictional story about the still current question of personal and public responsibility and the limits of political resistance.
