Synopsis

The German Federal Republic`s 1961 recruitment agreement with Turkey not only brought Gastarbeiter (guest workers) to Germany but also their music. Cem Kaya`s dense documentary film essay is a tutorial in Turkish-German recent history that tells a tale of assembly line jobs, homesickness and family reunification, the bazaar in the elevated railway station at Berlin`s Bülowstraße, xenophobia and racism, the wistful songs of the early years and the hip-hop of the post-reunification period.
