A Piece of Home 2024

When you lose everything, can a game save your dreams? The film follows two Afghan brothers: Sir (21), Allahverdi (17) who live in illegal housing together with around twenty other men. Cricket, an unusual sport for Turkey, is the biggest passion of these migrants, where they feel at home and forget all their troubles. The film juxtaposes the daily-life images of those immigrants in an observational style with a cricket match accompanied by an entertaining live commentary. Through the eyes of Afghan refugees in Turkey, we learn how cricket becomes a tool of resistance, while the cricket field becomes a piece of home.

The Children of Rafet N/A

Having arrived in Berlin for a meeting, the socialist party leader Rafet stays there when the military coup takes place in Turkey and he cannot return. His stay lasted for 25 years. During that period, Rafet has educated four young immigrant children about philosophy, psychology, politics, and arts, and those boys are now in their 30s. Oktay is the aggressive Döner-Cutter/Philosopher; Adem is stubborn, working in a fast-food restaurant; Riza is cold, Frosty, trying to be a taxi driver for 10 years. Kalender is a good father though depressed, who cleans toilets. Their intersection is their commitment to Rafet: he is a father, an idol, or an übermensch, or a troublesome old man. The film aims to document the lives of those characters, each very unique, and the key themes are immigration, loneliness, culture differences, family life, and longing for "heimat".
