Trivia
The film was shot primarily in German. To give an impression how the Turkish guest workers and their families felt when they came to Germany in the 1960s, the passages spoken by German characters in the flashback scenes are spoken in a German-like gibberish.

Warms and breaks my heart everytime

This movie is somehow similar to my own family history, how me and my sister grew up in germany, how we packed our luggage when going on vacation in turkey, but mind you, we grew up in the 80s and 90s. Still, it catches a lot of the suttle humor we are enjoying and how we face our daily lifes. I also watched the movie with my mum many years after release. She also loved it and shed some tears. Its hard to explain why this movie is so good and how they managed to create such a heartwarming experience, but rest assured, this movie shows you with it lovely characters how we emancipate from our parents and families, how we laugh, how we cry, how we hide to smoke - even as grown ups -, how we raise our children and how we argue as a generation caught between nations and cultures.

I hope you can enjoy this movie, too.
