Scope and content
One from Europe, the other from a country aspiring to be European for centuries...Yet, both are women, DJs and mothers to 11-year old sons. SHE-J is the story of two alter-egos; DJ Beyza from Turkey and DJ Dame (Natasja) from Holland. It is not a film about DJs or club scene but a film about women and Turkey with its young urban face and its confrontation with Europe. Beyza, the first female DJ of Turkey says her work is like selling pork in a Muslim neighbourhood. She travels from one city to another performing and has hardly any time to see her son, Dunya. Life conditions in Turkey force her to live a lonely life, unable to find a partner who would accept her marginal lifestyle. Natasja, on the other hand, chooses to put her son Kyan in the center of her life and music comes second. She has a supportive partner and a more structured family life. Yet she feels stifled by the lack of chaos and yearns to spend more time doing music. At first, both women seem to desire what the other one has. Yet, over the course of the year they discover that the grass is not always greener on the other side.
