This study examines the relationships between men and women, husband and wife, and parent and child in a Turkish family living in Germany, as well as the view of Turkish immigrant men towards German women as portrayed in the film "Polizei." This film focuses on the lives of second-generation Turkish immigrants in Germany. Meanwhile, the movie "Almanya Aci Vatan" depicts the lives of those who experienced the first wave of immigration to Germany. Using theory-based qualitative methodology, both films were examined through visual analysis method in this study. Analysis results show that the traditional patriarchal values of Turkish immigrants in Germany are protected by first- and second-generation immigrant men, which means these men regularly commit oral and physical violence against wives, daughters, and other women because of their distinct perception of honor. Thus, immigrant women are more vulnerable to these patriarchal values than male immigrants, and these acts are more commonly experienced by the second-generation Turkish immigrant women than their first-generation counterparts.
