En Ballong til Allah plot

Norwegian-Turkish filmmaker Nefise Özkal Lorentzen decides to send a green balloon to Allah with the message that the role of women in Islamic cultures must change. As a Muslim, she feels trapped between two cultures. The balloon takes her to Cairo, where she visits ninety-year-old publicist Gamal al-Banna, who has been threatened with death several times for his liberal views on Islam. She is also admitted to a Salafist, whose wife has never been outside alone in six years of marriage. The writer Al-Banna puts his finger on the sore spot of the filmmaker with his pointed questions and Asma Barlas, the most important contemporary female interpreter of Islam, puts her on the track of the connection between the three Abrahamic religions (Christianity, Islam and Islam). and Judaism).
