Seyhan Arman, Nazli Bulum, Ozan Güçlü, and Idil Talu in Hilal, Feza ve Diger Gezegenler (2022)

Set during the aftermath of the September 28 1997 military coup of Turkey, one of the most fascinating periods of modern Turkish history, Hilal, Feza and Other Planets follows the unlikely relationship between a pro-Muslim student Hilal and her friend Feza, a male transgender prostitute who aims to become a woman. With cultural and social backgrounds that are superficially, and in their own perception, polar opposites, Hilal and Feza find common ground through their separate struggles against state oppression and social prejudice. Though not always smooth or free of conflict, their friendship survives the test of time despite ingrained prejudices, and we see their mutual respect and understanding for each other grow each time they meet.

A Heartwarming Tale of Unlikely Friendship

This movie is a beautiful and moving portrayal of the friendship between a trans person and a Muslim girl. Despite their vastly different backgrounds and political views, the two protagonists come together and form a deep and meaningful bond through the struggles they face both at home and within society.

The film does an excellent job of highlighting the challenges that trans individuals and Muslims faced in the past and in today's world, while also emphasising the importance of empathy and understanding. The performances by the lead actors are fantastic, and their chemistry on screen is truly captivating.

What makes this movie stand out, however, is the way it tackles difficult topics with sensitivity and grace. It never feels preachy or heavy-handed, but instead offers a message of hope and acceptance that is both inspiring and heartfelt.

Overall, this is a must-see film that is sure to leave a lasting impression. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to be moved by a story of friendship and resilience in the face of adversity.
