In Almanya, there are many instances where Hüseyin’s fears about completely assimilating into German culture shine through. The GIF above is from a nightmare that he has about his wife and himself getting their German passports and then immediately looking and acting just as a stereotypical German would. In this shot, Hüseyin sees his reflection, now with a “Hitler mustache” and not his full beard. Fatma is also shown eating a gigantic drumstick, and in the shot previous to this one, she is in traditional German clothes. This shot in the GIF really highlights how afraid Hüseyin is of losing his Turkish identity. He believes that once they fully commit to being legal Germans, they will completely assimilate and have no connection to their Turkish identity. This is the main driving force behind what Hüseyin does in the framing plot; his fears of identity loss push him to take his family back to Turkey. However, this also asks the question: what makes someone of a certain nationality? Just because Hüseyin and Fatma are legally Germans, does that mean that they are no longer Turkish? Despite Hüseyin’s fears, they cannot be defined as just German or Turkish; they are something new that cannot be boxed into one nationality.
