In order to support his wife and children, Xiaocan's grandfather came to Germany from Turkey 45 years ago, becoming Germany's one million and one foreign worker. Grandpa originally planned to make enough money to go back to live in his hometown, but for the sake of his uncle's future, he finally became an immigrant with his family. Forty-five years have passed. When the family took root in Germany, Grandpa suddenly said that he had bought a house in his hometown and he wanted to return home with his family...

[Almanya: Welcome to Germany] Borrowing the story of Xiaocan’s family, Write about the problems faced by new immigrants-not only the aliens and the land, but also the cultural differences and identity. The director sees these complex issues through children's innocent eyes, which is full of wit; coupled with the mutual support and encouragement of relatives, many viewers will definitely feel very heartbroken.

[Germany welcomes you] There is no glamorous scene, but the story is full of warmth and is a long-lasting aftertaste (just like last year's [Difficult to Delimit Love]). If HKIFF has the most popular movie selection among audiences, this movie will definitely stand out. The reaction Li watched in the Great Hall was really amazing.

    It's not as depressing as the previous films of Turkish immigrants at the Berlin Film Festival, and it is very humorous. . .
