Love, Deutschmarks and Death / Cem Kaya / Germany 2022 / 96 min. – Love, Deutschmarks and Death tells the story of the independent and largely unknown music of immigrants from Turkey and their children and grandchildren in Germany in a very lively way, full of rhythm. In the form of a documentary essay, director Cem Kaya takes his viewers into a dazzling universe of music diversity. In a cinematic experience of the highest sound quality, he brings the energy and spirit of those years to life. E.g., the stage shows of the eccentric folk duo Derdiy oklar at a wedding with thousands of guests in a multi-purpose hall redecorated as a festival hall somewhere in the Ruhrregion: melancholic, but danceable, political, but cheerful, larmoyant in expression, but sincere.
