Martin, a family man with Iranian roots, studies the Koran and in doing so experiences an inner conflict that increasingly challenges him. Their encounters lead them into conversations about faith, culture and personal convictions, in which neither side has any easy answers.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<b>Ulrich Tukur<\/b>, who became internationally known through films such as \u2018<b>The Lives of Others<\/b>\u2019 and \u2018<b>John Rabe<\/b>\u2019, brings all his experience and expressiveness to the role, showing himself to be an intellectually challenging but empathetic conversation partner.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">A powerful dialogue partner<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Ulrich Tukur<\/b> is one of Germany&#8217;s most renowned actors for his ability to portray multi-layered and complex characters.

The film addresses social tensions and the need for exchange and understanding, relying heavily on <b>Ulrich Tukur<\/b>&#8216;s acting skills. His character, the professor, shows a man who is confronted with questions that also test his own convictions, allowing the audience to feel the tension and depth of this encounter.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">A film for exploring current issues<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u2018<b>Martin liest den Koran<\/b>\u2019 was directed by Latvian filmmaker <b>Jurijs Saule<\/b>.
