action
The attractive 25-year-old Ayla lives in Munich. She leads a self-imposed double life apart and deeply hurt by her Turkish family. Ayla only has contact with her sister Hülya. During the day she works as an educator in a kindergarten, at night she works as a provocative cloakroom attendant in a club. The loving, warm-hearted treatment of the children is in stark contrast to their courageous, selfless demeanor when Ayla senses injustice. Wearing herself between being single and longing for the security of a home, Ayla falls passionately in love with the sensitive photographer Ayhan of all people.
But she doesn't yet know that Ayhan embodies precisely that part of their common culture that they reject. At the same time, Ayla spontaneously takes in the mother of one of her kindergarten children when she asks for help in panic. Hatice and her daughter Elif have to flee from their strictly Muslim family because she wants to divorce her husband. By chance, Ayla painfully learns that the man she loves is Hatice's dreaded brother. Being torn between two worlds, having to choose between her love and her convictions, throw Ayla into a dilemma.

Reviews
“Feature film debut, which, with melodramatic sophistication and two convincing actors, addresses the emotional predicament of the protagonists between self-liberation and social conventions. Although schematic in its development, it is nevertheless remarkable. "
“Unfortunately, Turhan starts exactly where others started before him. In this way, the film develops into a black and white painting of good and bad that does not look for deeper motives. Without looking behind the scenes, the unmotivated images in TV aesthetics formulate conflicts of interest that are heavily charged with clichés. "
“What is supposed to create tension now gets stuck in the stage of a wooden play. Like on a stage, these and then those actors of the ensemble meet each other, say what serves the progress of the action without it coming to a credible escalation. The love story is told without flesh and blood, it remains clichéd. "
