SHOULD I REALLY DO IT?

SHOULD I REALLY DO IT?, 2008
Director: İsmail Necmi
86’, Colour, German, English subtitles
A real story on the extraordinary life of a German woman, Petra, living in Istanbul. The star of this interesting story, which makes you think that life is no different from the text of a script with its sudden ups and downs, in fact shows a different aspect of life: In the long run, nothing is so full of surprises as life itself! While Petra unfurls her life in her talks with the masked therapist Herold, she confronts themes like family, friends, drugs and death, on the Istanbul and Germany axis. As the film alternates between reality and fiction, documentary and drama, it looks for the answer to the question "Can real life in fact be more interesting than fiction?"
