After the death of his grandfather, the filmmaker flies to Istanbul to film one last time in the rooms where his grandfather lived for over 40 years and translated central works of German literature into Turkish. A living and working space that transcends its deceased occupant and which is filled with memories for the filmmaker. Memories of a life that exemplifies the unknown aspects of the history of Turkish-German relations. A cinematic obituary of the "Turkish voice of Kafka".
Akın Emanuel Şipal, born 1991 in Essen, studied film at the Hamburg University of Fine Arts. He won the 2012 nationwide competition "In Zukunft" for his first play VOR WIEN, and received the Hamburg Department of Culture's Förderpreis Literatur promotion prize for SANTA MONICA.
