Storyline
| Plot Summary |
This heartbreaking TV movie focuses on the first generation of Turkish migrant workers coming to Germany in the 1960s. Melike and Mustafa grow up in a small village of Ürgüp, Nevsehir in the central part of Turkey. She dreams of marrying him until he and his friend Kadir decide to leave their home country to work in Germany. After two years, the young woman must marry the much-older Yasar although she does not love him. For financial reasons, Melike also emigrates to the "golden West" and starts working in a factory. She reunites with Mustafa, now working as a photograph artist, and revives their romance, but one day, Yasar is standing at her door. Written by fippi2000 |
