The film EREN tells the story of a woman who fights for justice at the risk of her life. She is an advocate for all those who are deprived of their rights, for women and minorities, for those who are tortured and those who have disappeared in state custody. For this, Eren Keskin is declared an enemy of the state on absurd charges. She faces a life sentence.

The film is an invitation to see Turkey on different levels and to read it through the eyes of the protagonist against the grain. Eren Keskin destroys the common narratives of her country: the founding of the republic through the supposedly rightful struggle for freedom of a unified, Turkish and religious folk. Eren Keskin brings into focus the sore points of the founding of the state: expulsion, appropriation, rape, genocide. How can a just and peaceful society ever emerge in a state built on violence and injustice without confronting this history of origins? How can one resist autocratic, nationalistic systems?

The theme of the film is timeless and universal. It is the story of an individual who stands up for the morally right values, but has to fight against an all-encompassing, existing system of order and supremacy, knowing full well what a high price she pays in the process. It is the story of a modern Antigone who, following her inner values, rebels against tyranny.
