Leberkäseland

Directed by Nils Willbrandt

Leberkäseland "tells the story of an atypical integration that begins in the 1960s: the Maleks come to Germany not as guest workers but as a family of dentists: reactionary teachers, down-to-earth neighbors and all-around pop music - only Leberkäse is a pleasing discovery. Latife Malek is a professor of mathematics, confessing Kemalist and women's rights activist, as well as wife and mother. Living it all at the same time is difficult even for a strong woman like her. Her life story and strokes of fate have made her hard.
