Description of the content
Sinan’s past catches up with him when he visits his Iraqi family for the first time in the United Arab Emirates in 2007. His uncle and his German wife adopted Sinan immediately after his birth. Three years later Brunhilde fled back to Germany taking Sinan with her. His adoptive father and biological family remained in Iraq. For years, Sinan showed no great interest in them or the culture that characterized them – but when he finally meets his father, his reluctance to the Arabian traditions dissolves.
