Almanya - Willkommen in Deutschland
In 1964, a mustachioed charmer named Hüseyin leaves his wife and kids in Turkey to join the ranks of immigrants enabling Germany's "economic miracle." Bringing his family over as soon as he gets his feet under him, he then watches as his four children become thoroughly German. Decades later, the gruffly lovable patriarch arranges to buy a run-down house in their old village and shames his descendants into joining an all-family mission to renovate it. Told from the perspective of Canan, a college-age girl eager to share family lore with her 6 year-old cousin Cenk, the film bounces engagingly between past and present.
