Murat is a seventeen-year-old Turkish immigrant who lives in Berlin with his brother and mother in an extremely traditionalist family. He adores Lola, a transvestite who works in a Queen bar, and sexually satisfies himself in public toilets and some kind of dark parks, often charging old fags.
In the bar where Lola works, she meets Bili, a Turkish character who is in a “relationship” with Lola, and wants to start a marriage, which Bili refuses with disgust and contempt.
On the other hand, the middle-aged architect Friedrich falls in love with a Turk, Iskender, whose main occupation is being a prostitute and a thief. Friedrich’s mother, an elderly lady (looks like a grandmother from an aristocratic house) likes to dominate every situation, to knows and controls everything.
The film draws a parallel between two completely different cultures, whose only commonality is the effort to limit and restrain behavior that goes beyond traditional frameworks.
