two themes

1. The classic nostalgic theme. The hero and heroine were lost in a wild way in Germany, which did not belong to them, and returned to Turkey, where the river made them peaceful. Hometown is their stable place, and Siebel's choice to stay in a stable family is the most important part of the director's warm praise for his hometown.
2. Freedom for marginalized people. In her seemingly unhealthy way, Siebel is chasing freedom. Then trapped in freedom. Until love, hometown, and family teach her responsibility to settle her down, then she can make a sensible decision and gain real freedom.
So this is a history of self-consciousness in a national context and a textbook for young people.
But not everyone is so lucky to have such genuine and genuine love.

    Burger is not my home, my home is by the sea. Life in Germany is worse than walking dead, and you have to go back to Istanbul to get better. Films that win awards based on political metaphors are meaningless.
