Ayça, uma actriz turca e Hama Ali, um actor curdo, conhecem-se durante a rodagem de um filme na Turquia e apaixonam-se. No final das filmagens Ayça volta para Istambul e Hama regressa a Süleymaniye, a sua terra natal no Norte do Iraque. Em vésperas dos ataques americanos ao país, os dois amantes continuam a amar-se por carta, telefone e mensagens em vídeo, que nem sempre chegam ao seu destino. Num acto de desespero contra a distância que a separa do amante, Ayça decide viajar até ao Norte do Iraque para o reencontrar. História real sobre personagens reais, Ayça e Hama Ali vestem a pele deles próprios para criar nesta longa-metragem um equilíbrio tenso entre realidade e ficção.
Ayça is a Turkish actress and she lives in Istanbul. On a film set in the West of Turkey, she meets Hama Ali, a Kurdish actor. The two fall in love while shooting a film. After the shoot, Ayça returns to Istanbul and Hama has to go back to his home, Süleymaniye in northern Iraq. Ayça and Hama continue their relationship on the telephone and via letters, while America prepares to attack Iraq. From time to time, Ayça receives a declaration of love from her lover on video. Ayça can no longer bear the distance between them and decides to travel to northern Iraq.
My Marlon and Brando is a real story with and about real people. Ayça and Hama Ali are actors in their everyday lives, here they play themselves. In this way the film creates a tense balance between documentary and fiction.
