Moderation: Fatima Moumouni
Hüseyn came to Germany with his wife as "guest workers", worked tirelessly for thirty years and saved for a condominium in Istanbul. After retiring, he finally fulfills his dream - and dies of a heart attack on the day he moves in. His family travels from Germany to join him for the funeral.
