Changes

|Text=If there is one thing nine-year-old Ümit has no desire for, then it's a trip to Turkey with his family. Especially not when it comes to the [[circumcision]] that is waiting for him there. Ümit misses his friends in Germany, finds everyone stupid, especially his cousin Haluk, and feels totally out of place. But tradition is tradition and thus Ümit faces his fears. But not without his Mesut Özil shirt! Arne Ahrens has succeeded here in a small fine story about being a child, growing up and developing an unusual friendship. He only uses the ritual of [[circumcision]] as a cultural background and focuses more on the perspective of the cousins , ​​Ümit and Haluk. Through them, the film, which is based on a real event, negotiates a huge culture clash in just 17 minutes, in which, in the end, the old truth applies: shared suffering is half suffering. And together you are always stronger. This cross-border message is packaged in a lively script, and there is also an authentic play by the performers. Wonderfully light and entertaining short film cinema.
