Six year-old Cenk Yilmaz (Rafael Koussouris) 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 (Petra Schmidt-Schaller), and Cenk cannot speak Turkish. At a family meal his Grandmother Fatma (Lilay Huser) declares to the family her newly acquired German citizenship. At the same meal, Grandfather Hüseyin (Vedat Erincin) 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 (Aylin Tezel) is pregnant with the child of her British boyfriend David (Trystan Pütter) 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... - Actors:
