A quest – a love – and a piece of recent German history.

No longer do we have a clear definition of national identity and probably won’t have one as we know it in the future – this is why questions of identity and integration will increasingly govern us… What does Integration mean? What does it mean for every single person on a daily basis, rationally as well as emotionally? How does every Generation, first, second and third deal with it?
The filmmaker and author Stella Sema Yeşiltaç has asked herself all these questions and went on a quest to interview her father, mother, and four siblings. Her parents, who have not spoken to each other in over 30 years, are telling their love and life stories separately, yet together – the four children share their experiences with the interviewer/ audience with a wonderful balance of sincerity, humor, and wit.
