Almanya: Welcome to Germany
Synopsis
After living 45 years in Germany, the seventy-year-old Turkish man Hüseyin Yilmaz announces to his family that he has bought a house in Turkey and that they should return to make the necessary renovations. The idea is unwelcome and causes very heated discussions. In addition, Canan, Hüseyin's granddaughter, announces she is pregnant, and the father is her English boyfriend, about whom no one knew anything.

Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
