Plot
Six year-old Cenk Yılmaz begins to question his identity in his German school
one day when he isn't chosen for either the German or the Turkish soccer team.
He is the son of Ali, of Turkish heritage, and his German wife, Gabi, and Cenk
cannot speak Turkish. At a family meal his Grandmother Fatma declares to the
family her newly acquired German citizenship. At the same meal, Grandfather
Hüseyin tells the family that he has bought a house in Turkey that he wants to
use as a summer home. In order to renovate the house, he wants to travel to
Turkey with the whole family.
Cenk's 22-year-old cousin Canan is pregnant with the child of her British
boyfriend David but she has not told the family yet. She begins to tell Cenk the
story of how their Grandfather came to Germany in the 1960s as the 1,000,001st
guest worker to help fill the worker shortage. She explains how Grandfather
Hüseyin brought his family to Germany afterward, the dreams and worries that
they brought with them, and the difficulties they faced.
Together, the family flies to Turkey where they rent a bus to drive to their old
hometown in East Anatolya to see their new house. Hüseyin guesses that Canan is
pregnant and reacts with understanding. Hüseyin receives an invitation to give a
speech at an official thank-you ceremony for guest workers at Bellevue Palace.
After driving further, Hüseyin suddenly dies and since he recently received
German citizenship, Turkish authorities refuse to allow him to be buried in a
Muslim cemetery. Instead, the family brings his body to his old hometown and
they bury him there. Cenk sees all the generations of his family in their
various ages collected around the grave.
The house bought by Hüseyin turns out to be a ruin. His son, Muhamed, decides to
stay in Turkey to rebuild it, since he is unemployed in Germany. The rest of the
family returns to Germany. Cenk gives the speech that Hüseyin prepared in front
of Chancellor Angela Merkel.
