This film stands strongly on its feet by the dialogs, and what is more to that is the dialogs are realistic (I dare to say almost real). Temelkuran lets us to peep into the daily conversations of some Turkish workers in three different European cities (Madrid, Paris and Berlin).
Bear in mind that there is no plot, just the conversations, quarrels of the characters in their gatherings. The film has nothing to do with racism or such issues in Europe, merely the reflection of the workers' lives there, human lives. At this aspect it could be said that it is like "Night on Earth" (Jarmusch, 1991).
This is not a must-see-film but if you enjoy long dialogs you should really give this one a chance. I think that Turks who worked/work in Europe will appreciate it even further.
