I Have Two Countries is a documentary film series about Adrian and Julian, two brothers with Turkish-Norwegian background. The family moves to Turkey for 6 months. How do the kids adapt to Turkish culture? What do they feel about the Turkish school system, and how do they manage to make friends? In 5 episodes, we follow the magical gaze that these brothers have created. In order to get in touch with their new Turkish identity, they keep all their senses open. So everything is possible when you accept that you have two cultures.
