40 qm Deutschland (English: 40 Square Meters of Germany) is a 1986 West German film directed by Tevfik Başer, who helped both with the script and the production.
Dursun, who is strictly bound to his conservative values, forbids Turna from going outside and integrating into the new society, and he cannot even tolerate her communicating with a little girl through the window.
However, one day Dursun dies, and Turna, who does not know the language and has no acquaintances in this foreign country, finds herself completely alone, awaiting the baby she is carrying and coping with the loss of her husband.
Başer, who was chasing a vision he had been fostering for some time, handled the production, the script, the direction, the crew and the location almost all by himself.
The church musician Claus Banzer ended up being in charge of the music, Izzet Akay was trusted with the camera and the lead actress Özay Fecht was already known as a jazz singer.
