A warm, multigenerational family comedy-drama about identity, belonging, and the tensions between tradition and assimilation, anchored by a patriarch's unexpected return to his roots.

After living 45 years in Germany, the Turkish Hüseyin Yilmaz, seventy, announces to his family that he has bought a house in Turkey and they should return to make the necessary reforms. The idea is unwelcome and causes very heated discussions. In addition, Canan, a granddaughter of Hüseyin, announces she is pregnant and the father is her English boyfriend, and no one knew anything.
