Intrigue, surveillance, lavish parties and, in the midst of it all, a young man who longs to belong: director Nuran David Calis' revenge drama "Hamlet" focuses on questions of identity, relationships and community. Hamlet's grief for his father is still fresh when he learns that his uncle Claudius is to marry his mother and take over the crown of the Danish kingdom. Hamlet refuses to accept his uncle on the throne and suspects him of murdering his father. He devises a plan to prove Claudius' guilt - but then what? A young man breaks with tradition, his family and his heritage on all levels, but finds no balance in his resistance, instead losing himself in a struggle that claims more and more victims. How do you react to clearly perceived injustice when you also feel a paralyzing powerlessness rising within you? Can violence be a solution? Known for his adaptations of classics, Nuran David Calis devotes himself to the conflict between the younger and older generations: questions of meaning, contradictions and identity struggles arise between the countless demands placed on young people by society and their parents. Where can confidence, security and home be found? This content has been machine translated.
