An interesting movie, because it is a German movie about Italians and the director is Turkish. The performances of the two stars were pretty good and the child actors were also pretty good, but the story was very predictable. Also the Italian characters like the mother and the father acted too much like Italians you see in movies, like caricature. The love story was also a little bit boring and did not result in anything. I liked the ending back in Solino., and I would like to see what Mr. Akin's next movie is.
