The film does not have the so-called great principles and great beliefs. It starts from the subtleties of life, and it is all dull but also tender. This is a question of the attribution of immigrants. When my grandfather was young, he came to Germany to work in Turkey, and his family also moved here. 45 years later, the third generation members of the family were troubled by whether they were Turkish or German. I was repelled by classmates on both sides in the class, and my Turkish father and German mother were even more at a loss when they answered different answers in unison. At this time, my grandfather's sudden announcement of a holiday trip to Turkey finally took place despite opposition from family members. Not only is the journey of returning to the roots of fallen leaves, it is more like an action to eliminate the emotional rift between the family, the candid treatment between the mother and the daughter, the reconciliation between the brothers is as good as before, and everything is moving in a good direction. , But my grandfather died, and suddenly he was peaceful.
But the problem reappeared during the burial. As an authentic Turk, the grandfather became a "foreigner" because of his newly acquired German citizenship and could not be buried in a Muslim cemetery! In the end, she was taken home by her grandmother and buried in her own land. This is an interpretation of falling leaves back to their roots.
The most touching part of the film is that the family members are sitting on the original site of the house for a picnic. The setting sun shines on everyone’s face, everyone’s face is smiling, and the grandfather is also with everyone. It seems that he has never left, inexplicably. When I saw this, I shed tears. At this time, the question of attribution really doesn't matter.
The whole film tells the most authentic and dull story of a family in a gurgling way. The retro tone makes the picture warm and bright, and the female director's unique delicateness can be seen everywhere, which is a masterpiece.
