Leberkäseland

2015 · 90 min

A warm but sharp-eyed culture-clash drama that balances humour with the quiet strain of not quite belonging.

Directed by
Nils Willbrandt
Genres
Tv movie
Starring
Neda Rahmanian, Murathan Muslu, Katja Studt
Overview
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.
