This amusing film which appeared in 2011 is based around the life of a fairly typical family of Turkish Gastarbeiter and examines the theme of the cultural identity of immigrants in Germany.   Blending newsreel and well integrated reconstruction of the early days of the German Wirtschaftswunder when Turkish immigrants filled the huge gap in the labour market, the film shows how one family followed the father to Germany.   There is as one might expect a reasonable amount of Turkish spoken in the film between members of the family and the film deals sympathetically and at times hilariously with the clash of  cultures.
