Netflix’s ‘FARAWAY’ Releases March 8th

It’s cold, winter feels eternal and many of us are yearning for a sense of happiness, and to feel the sunshine again – so why not just pack your suitcase and dare yourself to start over?

From March 8th, International Women’s Day, Netflix has just the film for everyone who dreams of getting off the hamster wheel of everyday chores and tasks…in the heartwarming RomCom Faraway, we follow 49-year-old Zeynep, who has Croatian-Turkish roots, on her turbulent and entertaining search for her happiness. It’s a journey that leads her away from her unfaithful husband, demanding father, and equally irritating teen daughter in Munich, drawing her to the wildly romantic Croatian isle of Solta and, in the end, back to herself and her roots.

Based on the screenplay by Jane Ainscough (I’m Off Then), Faraway is a movie made by women, for women, with the captivating Naomi Krauss (The International, Jorinde & Joringel, The Invisibles) in the lead role. Against an enchanting backdrop, the story is brought to life by director Vanessa Jopp (The Space Between the Lines, Midlife Crisis, Messy Christmas), cinematographer Eva Katharina Bühler and producer Viola Jäger (Olga Film)
