Made in Europe Page #6

Synopsis: Stories of Turkish people living in three European cities Madrid, Paris, and Berlin. Most are illegal immigrants, and while seeking for permits or living in hide outs they go through life dealing with humiliation, insecurities, betrayals, self-pity. The stories reflect the schizophrenic nature of the immigrant world, which turns the movie into something more than life in Europe.

Am I wrong?

Have you ever seen me fail at work?

For days was been working alone, man.

"Serdar get up, there's a lot...

...of work, I can't do it all alone."

"No I will sleep." That kind...

...of place goes bankrupt, of course.

- Look, on the top of that he's lying...

- You're always stoned I guess.

- Serdar, you want to have a drink?

Order wine. Ilyas knows

I have a bottle there, I beg you...

...please don't lie. How many times did

I let you go early after you worked alone?

Look, brother. Ismet abi, I close the

store. And go look for him where he...

...hangs out, they give me snow for free.

Because I'm his friend.

Serdar, look, you're my friend: Don't...

...tell lies in front of people at least.

Everyone knows what kind of sh*t you're in

F***, I felt pity for you,

because you have a kid...

...we came together from Germany.

Don't tell me that I'm lying now.

When did you start having enough

class to feel pity for me?

Everyone feels sorry for you.

Isn't it true, Mehmet abi?

I don't know, solve your

own problem with him.

Don't look at them, you look at me,

look at me. Who feels sorry for me?

Don't shout when you speak.

Let's go outside.

F***, Let them hear! I don't hang out

with faggots like you do.

Why do you talk so much sh*t

about everyone? He talks about...

...you, too, you know?

- Who did I talk about? F*** people...

...who talk behind backs.

Everyone knows you.

What did you hear?

I've been in seven countries

and I never met a man like you.

Serdar cut it out, ok! Go and shoot

each other if you want, finish it...

You couldn't get it up with two hands,

and now you're accusing each other.

You had a nice shop. You couldn't

handle it. You didn't have what it takes.

Stop bullshitting about nothing.

You're both grown men.

Not kids.

Instead of asking yourself,

where did we make a mistake, it's...

..."you did this, you did that."

Look, I'm going to tell you something...

Once in our village in the winter a young

boy stole a sheep from someone's herd...

- They reported him to the military police.

- What does it have to do with anything?

Shut up, what do you know!

Anyway...

They denounced it to the MP.

They caught him on the mountain...

They called everyone in the village to

the lake. In winter the lake is frozen or.

...half frozen. The captain held the boy

from his neck, "I hope this will be...

...a good example to you," he said.

Then he dumped the boy in the water...

...in and out, several times.

In and out, in and out...

...until he froze to death.

Ten minutes in and out...

No one said a word.

Then he dropped the boy

afterwards on the ground...

..."take him and bury him," he said

and he went away. Everyone started...

...accusing each other afterwards.

The kid died in front of their eyes...

A sheep, man! One sheep!

They just ate it. My villagers are...

...still say "because of you,

because of him." This or that, you or me.

- You see, it's like this.

- It's not that. The boy is dead...

There is nothing to save now, is there?

Ok, I'm going home.

Ok then, see you later.

I'll ask about a job for you these days.

You check out construction sites. Ok?

Ismet, I gotta run, too.

The wife waits, then she talks, you know.

Send kisses to our auntie.

Good night, Mehmet abi.

Let me know if something comes up.

- Which way are you going?

- This way. Ok, Ismet abi, see you later

I am so sorry we gave you a headache.

Ignorance, you know.

- No, please. These things happen

- Ismet abi, do you always...

...listen to strange music?

- Mind your own business!

- Look! I have Muslim's latest CD.

- Bring it, I want to hear it.

- Tomorrow I'll bring it here. - Don't

forget. Ok, Ismet abi, see you later.

- Good evening, sir.

- Good evening.

Sir, I just came from Germany.

I don't have any place to stay tonight...

- I am looking for a place to stay.

- What is this?

My laptop computer. I am trying to sell

it. I'll go to Turkey. The dormitories...

...don't take me, and they want to

lock me up in the madhouse.

- Ok, easy.

- The police are looking for me...

Mom married a German policeman.

He beat me.

- Come on, that's enough.

- Tonight I need to place to stay...

I don't have any money. I jumped on

a train. I saw you knew these people.

Go on in.

Ilyas! Look this friend is looking

for a place to stay tonight.

Thanks.

- Where's the fire?

- You had it.

Cool.

It's nice.

I wish we had that in my time.

- Impossible in our country.

- Take our high school principal...

...for example... if he saw us walking

in the hall with a girl, he would shout,

"What am I, a pimp?"

We were in high school.

I mean we were kids...

And that was scientific high school.

It's supposed to be the place...

...with the best professors. - But

it's true. If you put girls and boys...

...in the same dormitories,

there will be problems.

- Why, man? What kind of problems?

- Come on. You know better!

Think about German women.

They complain that their husbands don't...

...want to sleep with them. They say

that's why they love Turkish men...

...I mean, sometimes too much

freedom isn't good either.

The most absurd thing I've heard about

Turkish sexuality is that Malaysian girls

...in Saudi Arabia only sleep with Turks.

What the heck is that about?

A loader who was working in a spice

factory told me this. He says he was...

a cook. He approached me and said,

"You know, us Turks, our raven is big."

Supposedly he was smuggling BMWs to

Saudi Arabia for 3000 marcs a piece...

He could prepare 208 cold dishes. "You

know I went to culinary school in Mengen"

He's the factory owner's nephew.

A loader. Our country is full of stories.

You've been in lots of countries,

I'm sure you heard tons of stories.

That's why I've been telling you about

these things that happened from...

Switzerland to Holland since morning.

My grandchildren won't believe all this.

"Gather 'round children.

Once upon a time...

...German women were f***ing

only Turks." Of course they won't.

Watch out! I also came here

to marry a German woman.

But you told me you had asylum.

That's how it is now. But at the time

I was married to a German woman.

- Did you come already married or?

- No, but we married as soon as...

...we got here.

I see.

- What was her name?

- Inge.

Be careful...

What were you doing then?

Did you start to work immediately?

How could I work?

I didn't even speak German.

- Was she taking care of you?

- Uh huh.

Mister Ahmet, no one took care of me

like that! I swear, nobody.

- But then...

- Then what?

- Then the woman got with someone else.

- Come on! How did you hear about it?

- She told me.

- Sh*t!

What did you do then?

- You hit her, didn't you?

- Uh huh.

Bravo!

Good! Good, because at least

they didn't kick you out.

They were about to.

That's when I applied for asylum.

Why'd you hit her man?

Is that who you are?

Don't say that, Cem! In this case,

everything about you depends on her...
