"Turkish for Beginners" was the charming, hilariously funny TV success .. according to scripts of the Sisters Nesrin and Yasemin Samdereli from Dortmund now they split and directed to on the big screen problems of immigration and integration darzubieten with a lot of fun, the highlight of "Almanya" is in the perspective-changing: all speak Turkish German and the Germans some incomprehensible gibberish. Moreover, one can wonder with the first guest workers and their families about the fact that German giant rats on lines - meaning dachshund - and everywhere around lead this half-naked, bloody man - hang on the wall - Jesus. A nightmare for small Anatolian!
The life of Huseyin Yilmaz, the one-million-principal guest worker, is in "Almanya - Welcome to Germany" but also quite seriously told: 1964 Hüseyin comes to Germany to feed his family in the distant Anatolia . A changeable life - of whom we know little - later he has a big family and surprise them with the news that he had bought a house in "the homeland". The children and grandchildren are all together in Turkey to revamp it. The youngest member of the family exclaims the central question: What are we actually Turks or German? During the trip he just tells her granddaughter the story of his grandfather with many amusing anecdotes. At the same torments the young woman her still secret pregnancy with just an Englishman! Otherwise knows the harmless feel-good comedy, no major problems, but few big moments and images. "Almanya - Welcome to Germany" has very good and easy, they played great and we had the makings of a comedy hit Samdereli Whether the movie can also correct such as Fatih Akin "Solino" can. hopefully their next major production shows.
