The bell ringing in the middle of the night. The phone from a distance darkens her face. There's a wave of concern and longing for the grandmother who's alone in the Philippines, with the sound of the phone. Philippines. Mom's home. My heart is filled with memories of the land and the sadness and grief of my grandmother's mother. And even though you can't go home, you can still work as a migrant worker in a German senior care center. Herrmann is an old lady from the nursing home, where she works. She's the grandmother, but she's not like her. We became friends and ate ice cream together. She's sad to leave her loved one. And the sadness is like a wave. People come, it's like a world. When a person leaves, it's like a world is going to be gone. That's why I feel sad. I don't know yet, but it seems that the place where somebody left is the beginning of a new world. One day, we use the same umbrella. Three generations, same space, same time..Fergaspräch is about aging, loneliness, strangers. At the time, the temperature outside reached record levels, but in a small German town, the day of the nursing home is as normal as usual. There is an elderly woman who has just been left alone and can't accept her situation. And there is a mother in the Philippines who lives and works on a life-and-death journey and she works in Germany. His little girl follows her mother's job during the summer vacation when all her friends are on vacation.

Chinese read this book quietly in the morning. The title was "State Calls", which I think is what we expected. It's about the Filipino women who came to Germany to make money, but it wasn't just a woman who moved to Germany. I remembered that Ulsan and Seoul were not far away, but they were not easy to find, and their father was sick. Wolsan is also a number of migrant workers. What about their lives? I've always wondered. I happen to know Filipino migrant workers and when I get to them, we

It's been another ten days since I went to Seoul on November 21st. With the impression in mind, at 3:30 p.m. on November 30 p.M., friends of 'Jaram' sat in class in their third-grade 10th grade class. Hyuk's book on learning, old Man's study book, and Cong's science book, read and prepared the sensibly for the originals. Su-Wan has published a squire about the value of this group to hear stories of books that they have read and to share their stories with their friends. When my turn came, I

There is a Filipino woman living in Germany. She works in a nursing home. I have a little girl, and I'm in a position to take her to work. I can't afford it, I don't have people. My sister, who lived with me, had just returned home. When she heard that her mother’s illness was critical, she decided to take care of her and take care and care of their livelihood. Daughter, sister, mother. To support three families, women care for other elderly people who are not able to care for their families.

Long-range Telephones are stories of longing, and of looking at life through death. The daughter of a Filipino migrant nurse from Germany cannot go home because she can't get her vacation. Even though Mother's death in the Philippines is near. A German nursing home where she works is a place where elderly people, who seem to be waiting for their death, still have been greedy, migrant workers who cannot care for her mother in the days of her life, and young girls who have followed her mother who
