Yasmin.

Yasmin Husseini, a young Muslim woman from Pakistan, lives with her father Khalid, her brother Nazir and her "husband" Faysal in a working-class area in England. At home, she is the Muslim daughter. On the way to work, she is changing clothes, getting into her red car and is off to the Western world. Life works. But with 9/11, things change and Yasmin has to make a decision… The director's intention with the film "Yasmin" was to show people what was really going on after 9/11 in and against Muslims in England and how suspicion and racism, so called Islamophobia, has increased. The movie is about the right to adapting to a different culture without forgetting about where you come from. The impressive thing about the movie is the cruel thing about it at the same time: It is very close to reality. Experiences Muslims made after 9/11 are united in the story of Yasmin and her family. But what makes the film that realistic are not these references only, it is the actor's performances as well as their purity. That is why the audience comes close to the protagonists and their destiny. All in all, "Yasmin" is a film that makes you thinking. Worth seeing!
