A twisted travelogue chronicling one woman’s obsession with Turkish men.

Filmmaker Therese Shechter heads to Turkey for a much-needed vacation. She also plans to interview young Turkish women for a documentary on feminism. Instead, she becomes fascinated with the men. And they are fascinated with her.

This true story is a twisted travelogue chronicling one woman’s obsession with Turkish men. Her attempts to understand their language, culture and psyche leads to a revealing exploration of cultural cliches, the ‘exotic other’ and the aphrodisiac properties of a US visa.

Therese Shechter: Writer, Director, Editor, DP and Producer
