Short rev: Gate to heaven

Nisha works as cleaner at the airport, and would like to be a stewardess, where she meets Alexej whos an illegal immigrant trying to get a fake passport by working for a dubious guy - and would love to be a pilot. They fall in love but Nisha has a problem. In India shes still married to a guy from who she escaped because he beated her up but she had to leave her little son behind and now wants to take him with her to Germany. Alexej tries to help and also Mr. Nowak, a kinda boss at the airport, offers help.

"Gate to heaven" was produced in 2003 and is a total German production with a bit of a Bollywood flair inside the hard reality of illegal immigrants with no chance on a visa. Great performances of Valeri Nikolayev and Masumi Makhija and Udo Kier as Nowak make this movie a must see - but beware if you dont like romantic comedy movies you will find it quiet boring.
