“Arkadaşloch – Nobody’s Problem” is an essay documentary film which tells the story of Özgür Kal who was deported from Germany to Turkey, and depicts his self-transformation from being the poster-child of failed integration to becoming a family-oriented business owner in Antalya. Based on Nilay Kılınç’s PhD research, the documentary offers a closer look at the lives of second-generation Turkish-German migrants who have to deal with the precariousness of existence without a fixed abode and economic prospect, even after ‘returning’ to Turkey – their so-called “homeland”.
