This multi-layered drama follows the stories of six people - four Turks and two Germans - as they realize the meaning of love while facing the harsh realities of the world we live in. It is a beautiful, unexpectedly enrapturing story about a world in transition and both the closeness and unbridgeable divide between generations and cultures.
