Innocence of Memories

Grant Gee / United Kingdom / 2015 / Czech Premiere / 90 min.


synopsis

A film essay shot in the streets of Istanbul and in one remarkable building, the Museum of Innocence. The museum and the film reconstruct the love story of Kemal and Füsun from a novel by Orhan Pamuk. After losing Füsun, Kemal began to collect all the things related to their relationship. Fetishization, obsession, and an extraordinary building that reminds us of an ordinary love.
