Salami Aleikum is a 2009 Comedy film by Ali Samadi Ahadi about an Iranian migrant family in Germany who try to cope with life in exile. There are animation parts and some musical videoclips (Iranian music and dance) are included. Salami Aleikum was a successful film in Germany.[1][2]
Mohsen Taheri (Navíd Akhavan), son of a migrated Iranian butcher family, hates and is afraid of killing animals. When his father (Michael Niavarani) is sick, he has to go to the post-reunification East Germany to buy sheep. In a village there, Mohsen falls in love with former shot-putter Ana (Anna Böger) who is vegetarian. Mohsen tells them that he is from a Persian textile dynasty, and the villagers hope he saves the village's textile industry. Mohsen becomes more and more en vogue until his family come to find him.[1][3]
