de victoria

Young people passionate about movies and emotionally impactful stories are invited on 15 May 2025, at 6:00 pm, to a special cinema evening organized by the Chisinau Municipal Youth Centre. In the hall of the Palace of the Republic in Chisinau, there will be a screening of the film “Turcoaica” – a contemporary social drama directed by Pavel Sidorenco, which deals with themes such as finding oneself, social stigma and love in impossible conditions.

Access to the event is free of charge on the basis of an electronic ticket, which will be sent to participants the day before. To get a seat, please fill in the registration form available here: https://forms.gle/zTmBr93HRLGnBnGk9

About the movie

“The Turkish Girl” tells the story of a young man who, in his search for acceptance, falls prey to the influence of a criminal group and takes part in a robbery in his home village. Caught by the police, he takes the blame and is sentenced to five years in prison. Returning home, instead of a new beginning, becomes a confrontation with the prejudices and rejection of the community. The only one who accepts him is his neighbor, a refined and mysterious woman known as “The Turk”. A fragile but profound relationship develops between the two, highlighting the social and emotional barriers they face.

The film explores sensitive but topical themes: the social reintegration of ex-prisoners, the stigma of marginalization, but also the healing power of empathy and love. With a sincere approach and a direction that emphasizes emotional nuances, “Turcoaica” is a production that invites reflection and dialogue.

An event for young people who love cinema with a message

The Chisinau Municipal Youth Center proposes this screening as an opportunity for young people to explore important social issues through the art of cinema. The event is taking place in an emblematic cultural space – the Palace of the Republic, located at 16 Maria Cebotari Street – and is part of a series of activities dedicated to promoting local culture among young people.

Places are limited and registration is compulsory. Interested young people are encouraged to reserve their place early.

Turcoaica – a movie about what makes us human, even when the world seems to reject us.
