My Father the Guest Worker

My Father the Guest Worker

The Kurdish director Yüksel Yavuz tells in an autobiographical documentary about the life of his father, who worked as a so-called guest worker at a Hamburg shipyard from 1968 to 1984. Never really at home, he only knew the way to work, the fish market and the coffee house. Yavuz succeeds in creating a touching contemporary document in which he traces the personal life story of his father and connects it with a piece of the social history of the FRG.
