Germany 2010/2011, 97 mins, in German/ Turkish with English subtitles, Dir.: Yasemin Samdereli.
Winner of Best Film and Best Screenplay at the German Film Awards, Almanya has been one of Germany's biggest box-office hits over the past year. An irresistible crowd-pleaser with echoes of East is East, it explores the immigrant experience in Germany with warm-hearted humour and a great generosity of spirit.
Huseyin came to Germany in the 1960s as a ‘Gastarbeiter’ and has become a model citizen with a large family. He has decided to purchase some land in his home village in Anatalya, Turkey and insists that all his family accompany him on a sentimental journey home. The clash between the generations and a nostalgia for the past combine in a joyous, feel-good production.
