Story
Gegen die Wand (Head-On) follows Sibel (Sibel Kekilli), a Turkish woman living in Germany who feels suffocated by her conservative family's expectations and strict rules. In an attempt to assert her independence, she deliberately causes a car accident, intending to commit suicide but surviving with severe facial injuries. Unable to bear the stares of others due to her disfigurement, Sibel becomes withdrawn and isolated. She meets Cahit (Birol Ünel), a forty-year-old alcoholic and addict who is also struggling with his life. In an act of desperation, they marry in a marriage of convenience, each hoping it will bring some improvement to their situations. However, their unconventional union attracts unwanted attention from Sibel's family and the Turkish community. Despite their initial intentions, Sibel and Cahit find themselves drawn into an intense, passionate relationship that challenges both of their expectations.
