Simon, Msgr Swetland, Fr. The United States however, put some political pressure on Germany, as it wanted to stabilize Turkey. One is left musing over what culture really is — whether it is steeped in language or tradition, or if it is a sense of oneself. In 2020, she will [hopefully] begin production on a comedic Asian-American series entitled Reckless Spirits. The first, set in the present, introduces the Yilmazes in their German home, as patriarch Huseyin (Vedat Erincin) insists that his family — his wife (Lilay Huser); their adult children Veli (Aykut Kayacik), Muhamed (Ercan Karacayli), Leyla (Siir Eloglu) and Ali (Denis Moschitto); and their grandchildren, 22-year-old Canan (Aylin Tezel) and 6-year-old Cenk (Rafael Koussouris) — accompany him for a holiday in Turkey. A breezy, colorfully styled comedy suitable for family viewing.

On a more serious note, the pic’s standout aspect is the way it encompasses the history of guest workers in Germany, particularly the incorporation of well-chosen black-and-white archive footage under the beginning and end credits. 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. Cast. MONTREAL — If immigration has been the source of major strife in Europe, you'd never know it from Almanya: Welcome To Germany, a second-generation story whose overpowering feel-good vibe has little room for real-world hardship. TWITTER The second strand follows young Huseyin (Fahri Yardim) in distant Anatolia, his arrival in 1964 Germany as the 1,000,001st Gastarbeiter (guest worker), and his family’s gradual acclimatization — if not assimilation — as visualized in Cenk’s vivid imagination. The film oscillates back and forth between Turkish and German; and with seemingly no rhyme or reason guiding their language choices, the speech becomes reminiscent of dreams — or even more abstractly, the intangible ambiguities where cultures collide.
Grandma’s simple modesty and child-like giddiness at finally receiving her German passport becomes adorable; grandpa’s severity proves itself to be the necessary strong arm in the family. To this, he sternly questions, “Have I ever asked anything of you?” and the family falls silent, only to eventually acquiesce to grandpa’s will.

As Cenk begs to hear more about the legacy he's just discovering, the movie approaches its intergenerational storytelling in a playful, Princess Bride-like way: Cenk's questions sometimes intrude from offscreen, prompting his young grandparents to look quizzically into the air before shrugging and returning to the tale. In 1961, a total of 7,116 Turks migrated to Germany as guest workers. FACEBOOK The large-scale of immigration of Turkish workers from the beginning of the 1960s was on the one hand, due to the high population growth and mass unemployment within Turkey, and on the other, due to the demand for labour in north-west Europe. > Music Festival Guides Thoroughly commercial without becoming too cloying, Yasemin Samdereli's likeable tale will be an easy sell to Turkish émigrés in particular, but its take on old country/New World identity issues is general enough to resonate with other communities as well. Welcome to Mooseport opened theatrically on February 20, 2004, in 2,868 venues, earning $6,775,132 and ranking fourth in the domestic box office. There, family chemistries are examined and mixed-culture dynamics become fertile breeding grounds for both profound ideas and great misunderstandings. The German Department of Foreign Affairs carried on negotiations after this and in 1961 an agreement was reached. Almanya – Welcome To Germany (Almanya – Willkommen in Deutschland) (2011) Film Review. While the humor may be hit-or-miss (some bits, such as Huseyin’s dream about the bureaucracy at the German citizenship office — and the requirement of eating pork — are laugh-out-loud funny), all of it is gentle, poking fun at national cliches rather than personal characteristics. Vivian Hua 華婷婷 is a writer, filmmaker, and organizer. The first half of Almanya is mostly fun and games, but the film’s cultural relevance truly becomes apparent once the family goes to Turkey.
