KurzfilmeTranskript
00:00When we got married in 2010 on the shores of the Bosphorus, I had an image of Turkey
00:15imbued with the flavours and scents of the Orient, and of Istanbul, that of a modern,
00:23cosmopolitan city where all the mixtures were possible.
00:26I couldn't imagine that so many things had been taken away from us, Europeans, foreigners.
00:35At the time, the whole of the West saw Erdogan as the man who would create the synthesis
00:48between Islam and democracy.
00:49I would have liked to believe it too, but Abidine had warned me that political Islam
01:00is a global project of society that can only lead to a totalitarian regime.
01:19I came back to Turkey, alone this time.
01:25I came to get an idea of how the past still weighs on the present.
01:31I realised that the scars on Abidine's body were not only those of a militant in the
01:38wrong place at the wrong time, but those of an event, the Putsch of September 12, 1980,
01:46which put an end to the dreams of a democracy in Turkey.
01:49I went to Ankara, where Abidine's family and some of his friends still live.
02:00And where Abidine was a student, he had committed himself politically.
