My gif comes from the beginning of the family’s immigration in Germany when the mother is trying to buy milk and bread for the family but she can not because of the language barrier. Because the story is being told in German the mother speaks German when she is actually speaking Turkish and the store clerk speaks German but it sounds like jibberish just as it would to someone who does not speak the language. At the beginning of the film the family’s inability to speak this jibberish shows that they still strongly rooted in their Turkish identities. As the movie progresses we see that the children begin to speak this jibberish thus creating the idea that their identity is no longer just Turkish but being of Turkish and German identity.
