Broken Angel

A young foreign girl comes to LA to learn English but learns instead that life in the States is not what she saw on TV and film. She finds herself being dragged into a world not only foreign in language but completely outside her cultural values. Her only savior is the one person who does not rely on language for communication, a deaf artist.

Directed by Aclan Büyüktürkoğlu, Broken Angel leans on a strong ensemble — Nehir Erdoğan, Patrick Muldoon, Ayşenil Şamlıoğlu — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2008.
