Mutlu, a Kurdish teenager from South East Turkey, is destined for a career in music following her appearance on a televised singing competition. On the eve of the final, she is shot by a man she had rejected. Mutlu survives but with life-changing injuries. A few years later, while still recovering, she is affected by a new tragedy. "My Name is Happy" is an emotionally gripping film about a patriarchal Turkish society plagued by feminicide, from the point of view of the survivors and the women seeking justice.
Free outdoors screening
