Immigration is a hot topic, not just in the UK but all over the world. Set among the Turkish immigrant/refugee population of modern-day Vienna, the story revolves around little Veysel, a daydreaming stutterer struggling to assimilate into his German-speaking school. How does he fare? The answer is well worth finding out.

Your Beauty has been screened and acclaimed at some 60 Festivals around the world and is a welcome addition to our programme at Keswick.

Critics

Young actor Abdulkadir Tuncer gives a remarkable performance as Veysel. It is simultaneously moving, sad, and wonderful, which gives the film's mise-en-scene sentimental credibility.
