Director: Fatih Akin, Color, 124 Minutes, 2002
How pizza and pasta came to the Ruhr area: 1964, with the Amato family from Puglia. In the course of the first wave of migration to the economic wonderland Germany, the Amatos end up in Duisburg. In picturesque and nostalgic images, Fatih Akin creates a family epic that covers a period of 20 years, about homesickness and growing up, about professional success and private misfortune. At its core, however, is a fraternal strife drama typical of Akin.
