SYNOPSYS:

1968 forever marked more than half a million Yugoslav men and women when Germany and Yugoslavia signed a bilateral agreement that enabled workforce migration within the so-called Gastarbeiterprogramm. Through various cooking chapters, Newsreel 80 records the particular story of an 80-year-old Metka, who at the age of 28 left for Germany to temporarily work there as a Gastarbeiter, but then stayed permanently. The experience of being a Gastarbeiter has marked her, which is why she generously, hospitably and above all very heartily understands the situation of today’s travellers.
