Copilot (2021) watch online

Copilot (German: Die Welt wird eine andere sein) is a 2021 German-French drama film directed by Anne Zohra Berrached. The relationship drama centers on a German-Turkish student (played by Canan Kir) who falls in love with a Lebanese fellow student (Roger Azar) and marries him despite objections from her family. Told from the subjective perspective of the female protagonist, the film follows the couple over five years in five chapters. The man's increasingly intense Islamist radicalization puts their marriage under severe strain and ultimately leads to a catastrophe of global proportions. Director Berrached worked very intuitively and allowed extensive improvisation in order to achieve the greatest possible authenticity from her actors.

The fictional film is loosely based on the biography of terrorist Ziad Jarrah, without referring to him directly. Jarrah was a pilot involved in the September 11 attacks in the United States. In the year of its release, Copilot was selected for the program of the 71st Berlin International Film Festival. It was released theatrically in Germany on 12 August 2021.
