When you stand with yourself

Immigration is the subject of sorrow. It is composed of loss, hope, going to the unknown, fighting against strangers, and homesickness. Time runs through a lifetime.

Or it can be said that searching is throughout a lifetime. When Hussein was young, he searched for love in the mountains, then went to Amania to find a new life. When he was old, he embarked on a homeless journey. What he was looking for was what he was missing. Hussein is a lucky man who can always find what he is looking for. Even if he finally died on the way back to his hometown, the return he sought was also completed in Muhammad: the father’s immigration ended with the son’s return home, this is the fate of the family. A circle in the middle completes the ending of the neighbors splashing water for the far-travelers to wish their return.

The family multiplies and continues at the two ends of immigration, and whoever was born there is his finale. Hussein and Muhammad were successful and frustrated in Amania, but their destinations also point to their hometown of Turkey. The younger sister's ideal female scavenger can only be realized in her Turkey. The brother returned to Amania to face a failed marriage. Where will the next story happen? Even if you are obsessed with becoming a mother of a German citizen, only by standing in front of the water tank can the love in your memory connect yourself to the past. The combination of Carna and England will be forked again.


Jinte is a questioner. Karna answers to the retelling of the past. The emigration experience and the holiday home are a symmetry. The old Hussein formed another circle with his grandson through the axis of memories. They held hands and danced in the barbershop. , Their emotions are connected, playing the music of their hometown. Homesickness is naturally given to this family, because they love each other, and the people who love each other will love their hometown, no matter how different people's hearts are.

The film is different from Chen Zhiyong's melancholy and broad-minded "Arrived Ashore", but uses colorful and fast-paced language to tell the story. This is kind of light. Only when the old Hussein passed away quietly in Karna’s retelling and happy memories of his family, time slowed down under the glare of Gint being pulled into the cornfield by his mother, and everyone began to enter the real realm of sadness. It is sadness that makes Kana and Muhammad and everyone real and gain courage. This segment soon passed. When the family buried Old Hussein on the hillside at dusk, Gint saw every sad person standing with his past self. He smiled knowingly, but his grandpa evaporated but he changed. Became another state, just as he changed from his mother's arms to what he is now, just as the elders have changed from children to adults.

Passing through the olive grove, they came to the end and opened the door, only to find that it was just an empty mountain separated by a wall and a door. That was the home of the old Hussein's family. Their home was not a country house, but built a house and lived together on the land of their hometown. Muhammad understood his father's homesickness, so he stayed.

"Who are we?" We represent everything that has been lost, and you can understand it when you stand with yourself.

    The dubbed version I watched on CCTV6, I always thought that this kind of movie was bitter, but I didn't expect this one to be very cheerful.
