Although it is insufficient in terms of cinematography, it is considered an important film in terms of presenting sections of the lives of Turks who immigrated to Germany. In addition, it is extremely tragicomic to make Turkish racism, perhaps unconsciously, in a few scenes shot to criticize racism in the movie.

The director of the film, Kartal Tibet made extremely ordinary films with Kemal Sunal. This movie can be counted as one of them. Although kemal sunal is very popular in general, there is little talk about the inadequacy of his acting. Finally, the behaviors of the Germans during the migration to the Turks was exaggerated.

Turkish cinema reflects the country's position between East and West, combining melodrama, political allegory, and contemplative realism. It often explores identity, memory, and the tension between tradition and modernity. The Yeşilçam era was prolific, while modern auteurs have gained festival prominence.
