Bastion of Sin
Inspired by Euripides, a theater director sets out to produce a play drawn from the experiences of an all-Turkish cast of amateur actresses, inadvertently setting the stage for a series of passionate discussions on religion, politics and modernity. Captured by documentarian Thomas Lauterbach, the rehearsals become a forum for debate, as devout Muslim traditionalist Aysel defends her lifestyle against the views of her more progressive cast mates.
