"Here is my grandfather and me, this is our first photo." "And that's us today, years later, with the whole family." "The leftmost is me, the rightmost is my grandfather." "This is the last photo with us together." "Shortly after this photograph was taken, everything has changed." "I often ask myself how my life would be" "If I was born in Turkey, not in Germany..." "I owe the German economic miracle that I'm "Made In Germany "." "Especially since the middle of the 1950's regular labor force began to arrive from Southern Europe." "Who want to go as workers, are being examined in their country" "The procedure almost looked like an animal market." "Only healthy ones were allowed to go to Germany." "You know, there is a labor scarcity in the labor market" "Spanish and Italian workers didn't have enough at the time." "We decided to benefit from Turkish workers" "One guest worker is subject to the headlines on 10 September 1964." "This is a historic day." "On that date, the number of immigrants reached the highest level." "One of these immigrants will be recorded in history." "Please, you first." "No, you first." "Congratulations!" "You are the one-millionth guest worker in Germany." "Welcome!" "...but the only one." "But the millionth worker, Armando Rodriguez was surprised about the ceremony and the motorcycle with two seats." "He and other workers didn't understood yet, they became an indispensable element for the welfare of Germany." "Armando Rodriguez, at that times even though the worker of a millionth..." "We want to tell the life of the one-million and first." "A man named Huseyin Yilmaz, my grandfather's life." "My grandfather was stepping such as to the promising future in Germany." "Hey, Huseyin, wait a minute!" "45 YEARS LATER" "I've changed my mind." "I don't want a German passport." "Have you lost your mind?" "Why haven't made the application for naturalization in vain." "That wasn't my idea anyway." "My god, give me strength." "Why must I discuss everything with you?" "We go there tomorrow and pick up our German passports!" "When my grandfather and grandmother were thinking they have problems, I really had a big trouble." "No, it can't be!" "I take the birth control pill every day!" "Goddamn it, what did you do to me?" "What I did?" " What kind of sperm do you have?" "!" "We all had our problems." "Even my small cousin Cenk." "Cenk, where shall we put your flag?" "Germany?" "Of course, but what is the name of that beautiful country, where your father comes from?" "Anatolia." "Isn't it called Italy?" "." "No." "Cenk is right, it's Anatolia..." "and it's the eastern part of Turkey." "Sorry, but this is a European map ending in Istanbul." "We put the flag over here, alright?" "Engin, tell me, where are you from?" "I'm from Istanbul." "You are from Istanbul, how beautiful!" "Okay, we placed everyone." "What should I wear tomorrow?" "This?" "Or this?" "Wife, are you crazy?" "Both are the same." "Almighty!" "How can you be so calm?" "Are you not excited?" "No!" "Almighty, give me strength." "Almighty, don't pay attention to her." "Give me strength!" "Or would you prefer this?" "Finished..." "Mr. and Mrs. Yilmaz..." "The one thing that is missing, the fourth additional article..." "As future German citizens do you accept the German culture as guiding culture?" "Good, that means you will be a member of the association of hunters and rifle club." "You will eat pork twice a week." "You will watch the TV series "Tatort" every sunday and you will go to Mallorca every second holiday." "Are you ready to these obligations?" "But..." " Of course." "We have to do everything correctly." "Congratulations." "Now you are German citizens." "Hüseyin, no need to panic!" "We are still Turkish." "It's beautiful." "Get up, get dressed." "We gotta go." "Today, we will be German citizens." "Come on, Let's play football!" "Turks against the Germans!" "Come on!" "I give him to you." "He is also German." "Also looks like a German." "Even he doesn't know Turkish." " He doesn't know anything." "Fight!" "Yes Mom?" "I am going to your grandparents." " Okay." "Hi, Mommy." "Ah, sister-in-law!" " It looks good." "I know, right?" " It's super." "Cenk, do not forget the cake." " Come on, dad!" "Let's prepare the table." "Ah, there's my boy!" "What did you do at school today?" "What happened to your eye?" " Nothing!" "This is for you!" "Cenk, what happened to your eye?" " Nothing." "My son, what happened to your eye?" "Nothing!" "A Turkish boy from his class said to him, that he's not a real Turk." "What?" "Ali!" "First you will go to school tomorrow and you will show everyone what real Turks we are!" "Dad!" "My grandson, not a real Turk!" "Impossible!" "Don't touch!" "Very tasty." "And how are you?" " Good." "Mom, why do you have to make it so spicy every time?" "Then eat rice." "That's also spicy." "It will pierce my stomach." " Ali!" "This is Muhammed." "Open it up." "Hi, Hi son..." "No, it is also." "Hi Muhammed." "Son, why are you so late?" " I missed the bus, Mom." "What happened to your eye?" " Nothing." "Nothing..." "Always you are doing the same thing." "Give me a plate." "Folk!" "I have good news!" " Now we are the German!" "What?" " German?" "Oh no!" "Of course!" "No!" "No, this is not the surprise." "Surprise is:" "I bought a house in Turkey, in the village." "In the homeland." "Why?" "Do you want to return to there?" "Look." "Our country is here." "Beautiful, isn't it?" " What?" "We are from there?" "So, I want to go to Turkey next holiday, all together." "The house is old and must be renovated." "It would be very good, if all of you help." "We made other plans for the holiday..." "We can not come." "Muhammad has nothing to do." "He doesn't have a job." "Then I have to pay his flight ticket." "Veli!" " What?" "It's true!" "I am paying all the flight tickets!" "Super!" " Forget it either." "Enough is enough!" "Quiet, dammit." "As your father, have I ever asked you for something?" "You just sit here and make blahblah..." "Shame on you!" "We are a family." "We are a Turkish family!" "What are we now?" "German or Turks?" "German." " Turks." "Your grandmother and grandfather have a German passport now." "It's just a piece of paper!" "We are still Turkish." "You too!" "Cenk, people can also be Turkish and German as well." "Just like you." "No way!" "You must either play in one team or in the other!" "If my grandparents are Turkish, why do they live here?" "Because..." "Because the Germans called them." " How?" "Not only them, a lot of Turks, Yugoslavs and also Italians." "All of them were invited here." " Really?" "Dear citizens of the world!" "The Federal Republic of Germany calls out to you!" "Our country is looking for labor." "If you are young, strong and a hard worker..." "Please contact to the nearest public office immediately." "And then what happened?" "You want to listen to the whole story?" "Everything started in a small village in Southeastern Turkey." "Look, here." "Near to the new home, your grandfather bought." "A very pretty village, in a small valley." "People there lived a simple and calm life." "They were working to sow field and herd their cattle." "Life was going as usual." "Only a young man, let's call him grandfather lived through very exciting days, because he fell in love with the squire's daughter." "Not the fat one, the one in the middle, the pretty one." "That is grandmother." "No, our girl is not right for you" "Go and find yourself another girl." "They don't know German?" "Okay!" "In German:" "No!" "Hüseyin didn't want to accept that "no"." "He abducted her." "At that time it was enough for a man to touch a single woman it meant, that this girl became dishonored." "What means "dishonored"?" "How do you explain this?" "Does it have something to do with sexual things?" "Grab the chickens, run run!" "Veli, Muhammed!" "How many times did I tell you, that you don't grap the poor chickens." "Poor chickens can't lay eggs anymore out of excitement." "We didn't do it, I swear it, father." "Huseyin was working hard to keep his family." "As much as he worked, It still wasn't enough." "Look what it says here!" "What does it say?" "I can't read." "Germany still invites workers." "My uncle's son-in-law works there for a long time." "He is sending home a packet of money every month." "He says," "You could buy a taxi by saving money for a year." "Bye-bye, my dear, Call me." "Godspeed!" "I love you so much." "Hüseyin went to Germany as guest worker." "Such as many others, who were leaving their hometown for the first time..." "To "Almanya", where everything was completely different." "Especially the language." "Thankfully, there was one person, speaking Turkish." "Dear guest workers," "Today is a very important day for all of us and we hope that we will work together successfully." "I'm coming." "Dad!" "Dad!" "I tell mother." "Muhammed, Leyla..." "How much you've grown." "Don't you recognize me?" "It's me..." "Don't you know who he is?" "That's father." "Grandfather never intended to bring his family to Germany." "Oh god, my headscarf!" "So how did they go to Germany?" "What?" "Exactly as it is!" "Your son skipped school for whole 21 days." "Four!" " Six!" "I can buy for five." "Five and a cigarette." "You son of a..." "If I catch you!" "Cigarettes, I've got cigarettes!" "Cigarettes!" "After him!" "I guess there is a lack of discipline in your family." "I work day and night, so that one day you ignorants will become decent people but you son of a donkey are running away from school!" "He insults himself again." "Come here, I'll break your bones." "I'll take all of you to Germany." "There you'll learn discipline and order." "Germans are experts about discipline." "Afterwards you'll see, if you still dare to skip school." "Seriously, he will take us to Germany?" "No, of course not." "I can throw further!" "I arranged everything." "We'll fly in one week." "What?" "What does it say?" "Dear Mr. Yilmaz I'm glad to inform you that your request for family reunification has been accepted." "It was time to say farewell." "Did you know that?" "You'll find Coca-Cola everywhere in Germany." "Really?" "Of course!" "They got tons of it." "Can you send me some when you arrive there?" "That's not possible." "Why is that?" "How should a bottle of coke fit in one envelope?" "I'm happy that I' don't have to go." "Why?" "Only infidels there." "My brother said:" "Germans eat pork and human." "They have a dead man hanging on a cross." "They also ate him." "They go to church every sunday to eat him and drink his blood." "Really?" "They eat human?" "Take dear, they say Germany is so cold." "Take these, I knitted them myself, they say Germans are so dirty." "And these are from me, not too much but they say there are just potatoes in Germany." "Just potatoes?" "On the last night, before their departure to Germany grandmother said to everyone to remember their dreams." "She believed, that dreams could show the future." "Unfortunately, nobody remembered their dreams in that night." "Nobody, except Uncle Muhammed." "The rat ate my ear!" "My ear is bleeding!" "Muhammed vomited." "You son of a donkey." "Why are you vomiting in this room?" "Look at what you did." "Fatma!" "Why you are yelling at the kid?" "Poor thing was afraid." "Come, my boy." "Wash yourself and put on something clean." "Give me your hand." "What kind of men are you?" "Push!" "Push!" "Goodbye." "Take care." "Why are they pouring water?" "This is a very old Turkish tradition." "If someone goes for a long journey, people pour water after him." "It means, that this person should return as fast as the water needs to evaporate." "What a strange place here." "It looks the same as our place." "No, not at all." "Look closer." "Everything looks completely different here." "Now let's go, it's late." "Cenk has to go to school tomorrow!" "Come on, get up!" " Now, already?" "But how did it look like?" "What was different?" " Soon you'll see." "Because we go there together." "Because grandpa bought a house and he needs help from family." "All of the family." "We have to go now." " Yes, we also gotta go." "There are two external meetings tomorrow." "Of course." "Thanks." "Look Dad, this is also possible." "Done?" "Let's clean your mouth." "What do you want to hear?" ""The Brave Little Tailor" or..." ""The Seven Ravens"?" "I want to hear this." " "Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves"." "Was Ali Baba a Turk?" " As brave as he was, certainly..." "Why can't I speak Turkish?" "You are talking a little bit now, aren't you?" "I can't go with you." "Really." "I'm sorry but I have exams." "Exam, exam, exam..." "The greatest test in life is to know what is important and what is not." "Who knows, when we can go on vacation as a complete family again." "It is better if you come with us." "It will be very nice." "You'll see." "Don't they have other hobbies?" "They are like savages." "There is such thing as birth control pills, but I'm sure they don't know how to use them." "Pardon me, you have to excuse us foreigners." "You know, lying around in the jungle all day, we don't have something else to do." "We only know how to laze and to hump." "Who talked to you?" "There are people who loves their children..." "Even if it's more than one and a half..." "What do you say?" "I'm going to Turkey on holiday." "What?" "Now?" "How will you go in this condition?" "David, I'm six weeks pregnant." "It's not even the size of a gummy bear." "I need time to tell my family." "They will hate me." "Woman?" "Lord in heaven!" "Woman?" "Woman, you're probably getting old." "Didn't you hear the water boiler whistling for hours?" "And why did you buy green olives?" "You know, I only like the black." "But I like green olives." "Aha." "Will you diet again?" "I'm tired to eat black olives." "For 50 years we eat black olives." "I guess, it's not about the color of the olives, right?" "Tell me, what's on your mind." "The house!" "Why did you buy the house?" "I told you, that I will not return to Turkey!" "My place is with my children in Germany!" "Who has claimed, that we return?" "We do not?" "And the house?" "A summer home for the holidays." "They taste awful!" "Huseyin, look what we have received by mail." "An invitation." "For immigrants." "Although we're now German." ""Germany says 'Thank You'..."" "They want me to give a speech?" "And even in front of the Chancellor!" "They are crazy!" "I'll never do that!" "Almighty!" "In front of Angela Merkel?" "Stop, stop, put these in, and also these." "Are you crazy?" " Why?" "What is this?" "Do you want to open a store in Turkey or what?" "These are gifts!" "I don't want you to go." "I can't cancel, I have tried, but..." "I need time, to talk to my mom." "You don't know what can happen in Turkey!" "You have no idea!" "Then I'll go with you, I'm considered family now." "No, you're not." "We need these..." "I'm not going to Turkey for the first time." "That's enough, that's enough!" "You are my embryo's father." "This is very different." "Canan, we are having a child." "We are a family." "You, me and the baby." "Not at all, the family is large, aunts, uncles..." "Each family has a story." "The kid, who will raise him?" "Do we or your family?" "This is the first trip with our German passports." "Nothing makes you happy anymore." "That's terrible!" "Almighty, do you have to do it now?" "We are going on holiday." "Should we return to a dirty house?" "Quick!" "The taxi is here!" "Hurry, hurry!" " I'm coming!" "Four hours delayed!" " Do they have to build the plane first?" "Gabi!" "Four-hour delay." " Are you serious?" "I'm bored." "Would you like to play something?" "No!" "Canan, I want to listen to the story." "Okay then..." "Where were we..." "When they arrived in Germany, they immediately realized that everything is very different." "Men don't have a mustache in here." "Why?" "See?" "Everybody here is a giant." "Why did he stop?" "What?" " I don't know." "A giant rat, there are giant rats!" "Where?" "It will eat us for sure." "Idiot, that isn't a rat." "That is a dog." "Why doesn't it have normal legs?" "And also, why is the rat tied to a rope?" "Germans are walking their dogs." "That's why they attach the rope." "Walk their dogs?" " Yes." "Can't the dogs walk alone?" "They even let them sleep in their beds." "Humans and animals in the same bed?" " Yes." "Almighty, help us." "Veli, come here quick!" "This is our new home." "This woman is half-naked." "And this is our own toilet." "What kind of strange chair is this?" "This is a German toilet." "You sit on it." "With your bottom on it?" " Yes, yes over there." "No one will sit on it, until I'm finished cleaning it up." "Who knows, what diseases the Germans have." "Almighty, help us." "This is the children's bedroom." "The three of us should sleep in the same bed?" "I don't want to sleep with him in the same bed." "This is your brother, alright?" "Your flesh and blood." "Be quick, I need to pee." "I clear the German's poo for you, and you're saying I'm too slow?" "But I need to pee." " Go to the back of the house." "What happened?" "What the hell is this?" " That is Jesus..." "Christians worship him." " Take it away!" "Take it away!" "A wooden sculpture..." "they worship a wooden sculpture?" "Almighty, I don't believe this." "Stop it!" "You've got more blanket than me." " That's not true..." "You're so fat, you don't need a blanket." "What did you say?" "Hüseyin, tomorrow you have to go shopping." "We don't have bread anymore." "Shops are already closed when I go home from work." "You must go." "Are you crazy?" "You can't send me alone." "But what should I say?" "I don't know their language yet..." "Then it's about time to learn it." "Sons of donkeys." "I'll show you now." "Father is coming." "Idiots, I have to wake up at six o'clock in the morning!" "If I still hear a noise, I will beat the daylights out of you!" "Do you understand me?" "All because of you, you idiot!" "Me?" "Who started, you idiot?" "We came here, because of you." "If you didn't run away from school, we would have been still at home." "Shhh!" "Father will come again." "I'd like to have bread." "Bread!" "Well, bread!" "But no!" "Bread!" "Bread!" "Well, no bread then." "Do you have milk?" "Milk!" "Milk!" "Thank God, they know milk!" "It's eight o'clock." "There they are!" " Where?" "Here!" "Here we are!" "When I grow up, I'll become a garbage man." "You're a girl, you can't be a garbage man." "I can be..." "No you can't." "It's called garbage man and not garbage woman." "I become a garbage man anyway." "A few weeks after arriving in Germany, without speaking a single German word they were all sent to school." "Aunt Leyla was the first to learn the language and served as an interpreter for everyone." "What did she say?" "It's something bad, right?" "Tell me..." "You will have one more baby." "Baby?" "Almighty, one more baby!" "They're here!" "They're here!" "Where is he?" "Look at him, the first German." "Also looks like a German." "He is very ugly!" "Was he really that ugly?" " Of course, look at him." "He's still ugly." "Finally we arrived." "I'll get the car." "Wait here." "Can you hold these things?" "I need to check something." "You have been invited to Bellevue Palace." "What?" " Germany says 'Thank You'." "Wow!" "The Federal Chancellor will also be there!" "She will be glad if you give a speech as the one-million and first guest worker." "I don't believe it." " Take a look!" "Unbelievable!" "Grandfather will talk in front of the whole nation." "I will not say even one word." " But why?" "I will go there." "I know very well what to say to them!" "Who cares what you have to say?" "They invited father, not you!" "Calm down." "Shut all your mouth!" "I said I will not go, and that's it!" " But you will appear on television!" "Grandmother and grandfather will be famous in their age!" "What, me?" "No television." "Then I'll go." "Why you?" " Why not?" "I'm the eldest, I will go." " Well, I'm the most photogenic." "You should consider what to say." "I will say something, really no problem." "You think I can not speak in front of people?" "My German is better than..." "many German's Turkish!" "I'll think of something." "But now we're on vacation." "If someone has to go there, it's me!" "I'm the eldest!" "Do you want to buy simit?" " Yes, give me some." "How many do you want?" " Give me ten." "What?" "Ten pieces?" "He shouldn't buy from this child." "As a result his parents will continue to make him work." " Maybe, there is no other way." "I mean, who would want to make a child work?" "Take, brother." "This is a present from me." "Thank you, little man!" "Don't let grandfather see me." " No, he doesn't look this way." "Mother..." "I want to say something..." "Recently, I experienced many things..." "A lot of things happened, and..." " No way!" "Garbage women!" "Here in Turkey!" "Where is your Uncle Mohammed?" " Mother!" "There was this garbage truck, with two women behind the truck!" "You shouldn't eat in these roadhouses." "Ali, come on." "It's very delicious." "Excuse me!" "Give me... mixed plate." "For me..." "Please." "How is it?" "It's good, isn't it?" " Very tasty." "In which grade are you going?" "Why you don't answer?" "You can speak Turkish." "My son, why don't you speak Turkish?" "Let him alone." "It's alright, he can speak German." "I can also speak some German." "Hello." "Buy some simit." "Very delicious." "Little man, take a photo of us." "Almighty, must that be now?" "Look at us!" "If you were more beautiful you would be abducted." "What did he say?" "He said, if she were more beautiful she would be abducted." "Father, Turkish air seems good for you!" "Now everyone smile!" "Allah don't like those, who do not smile." "Thank you, little man" "Thank you for the meal, Uncle." "May Allah protect you always." "I feel nauseated." " Ali, don't be like that." "Thank you, too." " Good-bye." "There we go!" " Do you want Cenk's suppository?" "Also he ate the same things like us." " Cenk, look." "What do you have?" "What happened?" " Still no suppositories?" "No!" "Dear Miss Federal Chancellor and dear citizens!" "Good?" " It's okay." "So..." "Thank you many much for the invitation." "Grandfather, you must say "very", Thank you very much!" "Thank you very much." "Again, I forgot." "Do you know what?" "One moment, please." "The best to tell the Federal Chancellor is:" "Hey, Angela!" "What's the problem?" "You are from Eastern, I'm from Eastern too." "We are both from Eastern" "Maybe, I must sing a folk song" "Why do you dance?" "You're not a woman!" "My son, in our culture also men dance." "Proudly, with raised arms." "Come and dance with me." "You know I'm in Turkey!" "I said no." "And I say, they were two garbage women." "One blonde and one brunette." "There are no blonde garbage women." " Yes, there are!" "Your mother is right." "At least sit down here and rest." "Are we going?" " No, don't hurry." "We have time." "Earlier, you haven't ate anything either." "Does your mother know that?" "Does she know what?" "Your grandmother gave birth to four children I know what's what." "Others might not see it, but I do." "You're not married!" "You haven't even finished the University!" "Couldn't you wait a bit?" "That's life." "It is important that it doesn't grow up without a father" "There is a father, isn't there?" "But he is not a Turk!" "That's what I thought." "He's an Englishman." "How did you meet an Englishman?" "Couldn't it be at least a German?" "What can you do?" "It doesn't matter." "Important is," "That both of you love and respect each other." "One more thing..." "Tell your mother, don't wait too long." "Alright, we're coming." "Be patient!" "Grandfather, what's wrong?" "What's wrong?" "Heat, it's the heat..." "Everything is okay!" "My legs grow heavy." "When will we arrive?" "I'm bored." " Cenk!" "Do you want to hear the rest of the story?" "It continues?" " Of course." "Canan?" " Okay." "Where were we?" "Our family already lives in Germany..." "they didn't return to Turkey since then." "The longer they were away from home, the more they were influenced by the foreign culture." "Look!" "Please!" "Please!" "Please!" "So I'll go in there, then I ring the bell?" "First the gifts, put the gifts under the Christmas tree then you must ring the bell, okay?" " OK!" "This is our first Christmas." " Yes, we did it!" "Oh no!" "We're not supposed to see the gifts now." "They aren't even wrapped." "Well, then close your eyes." "Do you want to play cards?" "No, I don't want to." "Dad, don't you want to cut off your mustache?" "Why?" "Real men always wear mustaches." "We are like that." "But nobody has mustaches here, it's not pretty." "To resist the influence of the Germans," "Grandfather decided to take a vacation in Turkey." "It should bring them back to their roots." "Hüseyin." "I already said, just take things which are necessary." "I only packed as many underpants as necessary." "Did you leave anything in the supermarket?" "How much did this cost?" "Should we go home with empty hands?" "They'll think, that we're miserly." "As if money grows on trees, here." "Can you put this to the bottom?" "I don't want them to see this." "What are you going to do with a single bottle of coke, silly head?" "It's a gift for Emre, I promised him." "Please, father!" "Gift for a friend, huh?" "You must keep a promise, right?" "We can put it to the bottom." "May God watch over us and help us arrive to our country safely." "Why don't we go by plane again?" " Really?" "Do you know how much that costed?" "Just you wait, silly head!" "Hüseyin, you're worse than the kids!" "We travel by car." "We'll arrive in three days." "I can not wait three days, I have to pee now." "The distance between their old and new home was 2521 km." "They needed 3 days and 3 nights." "When they arrived, they realized, you just can't rewind time." "Things have changed..." "they have changed." "I have to poo here?" "This is for you from Germany." "Thanks!" "This is coca-cola, real German coke." "You just brought one bottle, that's all I get?" "Do you know, how difficult it was, to bring it here?" "Kemal got a remote control car from his cousin in Germany." "And you cheapskate give me just one bottle?" "At least, you could bring me a whole crate." "I thought you have so much money over there." "Keep it." "What's wrong with you?" "Wasn't Emre there?" "He wanted a remote control car, even I don't have one." "He said, I'm miserly." "Miserly?" "Now even the kids are starting..." "Only money, money, money..." "As if we have a donkey in Germany, which poops coins." "Hüseyin!" " What?" "It's true!" "Fatma!" "A blackout." "Sons of bitches," "Why paying electricity, if they just switch it on and off as they like?" "This is the second time today." "As a result and different than planned, grandpa bought a house in Germany and not in Turkey." "That's the house, where everyone lives?" " Exactly." "Why can't grandpa and grandma speak German properly?" "Grandpa, tell us, why is your German so bad?" "Who is this?" "He already called four times." "A friend from university, I guess he needs some books or something." "Mother..." "He is not just a friend..." "He's my boyfriend." "And also..." "And, I'm pregnant." "You are a crappy brother." "When Melek left me, where were you?" "When I became unemployed, you didn't care about me!" "I sent you money!" "You call that nothing?" "Everyone does what they can." "Then I guess you can't do much." "Sevgi wants to get divorced." "Good..." "Finally she understood, what an asshole you really are." "How could you do that?" "That is your way to thank me for all the liberties I gave you?" "I can already hear people gossip." "Good thing, that your father doesn't have to witness this anymore." "And also a German!" " He's British..." "British?" "Why British?" "We have been living together for two years." "And I love him." "I got pregnant by accident." "Do you want me to abort it?" "Be quiet now, it's a sin!" "Do you want to take a life, Allah has given?" "Thank Almighty, father didn't know that!" "Grandfather knew it." "He asked me." "I don't know how, but he knew it." "It's true." "He always knew before me." "When your father abducted me, I was also pregnant." "So then I'm the only decent in this family." "I can't find my key." "Jerk from reception isn't there either." "Can I stay here?" " No..." "What about the invitation?" "Grandpa was supposed to give a speech." "Thanks, for allowing me to sleep here." "About Sevgi I'm sorry." "Whose dogs are these?" "Nobody." "Where is grandpa now?" "Come here." "Grandpa is here." "And here." "Death is nothing bad..." "It is normal." "People are born, we grow up and we live our lives." "And some day, we leave again."

"We are the sum total of everything that went before us of all we have been seen done of everything done-to-us."
