Fatih Akin, the critically-acclaimed director of "HEAD-ON", weaves overlapping tales of friendship and sexuality into a powerful narrative of universal love. In Auf der anderen Seite ("The Edge of Heaven", 2007), six characters are drawn together by circumstances-an old man and a prostitute forging a partnership, a young scholar reconciling his past, two young women falling in love, and a mother putting the shattered pieces of her life back together. Akin's piercing sense of the human condition and contemporary world events charge these hyperlinked stories into a multi-cultural powder keg.
