Almanya does an excellent job of conveying cultural differences through different scenes in the movie. The fact that Muhamed is terrified of Jesus is very funny since a crucifix is not supposed to illicit fear. He is scared because he learned from his friend that Germans (Catholics) eat the body of Christ every week, which is true, except for one important detail which is that the body of Christ is actually not flesh. This dream sequence says a lot about the perception of what Germany will be like versus the reality which we see throughout the movie. Muhamed has endless cokes in his own bedroom with luxurious linens. Living in Germany proved to be not so opulent for Muhamed and his family.
