Overview

A charming young German meets his biological parents and siblings in Dubai. The wealthy Iraqi family has found their new home there. Their son Sinan grew up in Hesse with his German adoptive mother and now lives and works in Berlin. The camera is almost invisible and very precise in "My father. My uncle." is always present when Sinan encounters the family, language, religion and culture of his ancestors - it is the discovery of a foreign world, an alternative life that he would have lived if he had grown up with his brothers. For Sinan's parents, he has always been part of the family. They have longed all their lives for the return of their prodigal son and now accept him with unconditional love. They make plans, dream of a life together in Iraq and make suggestions for a future wife. Actually, it would also be nice if Sinan converted to Islam.
