action

The film is about the siblings Erol, Ahmed and Leyla, who grow up with a Turkish father and a German mother in Berlin-Kreuzberg and still live in their parents' apartment. Erol has become a Turkish citizen, feels comfortable in the Turkish youth milieu and does not care about his future prospects. Ahmed and Leyla want to break out of the Turkish microcosm. The film is set primarily in the Kreuzberg neighborhood and shows the protagonists' activities and meetings with friends and acquaintances. They talk in the youth language common in Kreuzberg.

criticism

“The German-Turkish siblings Erol, Ahmed and Leyla live in Berlin-Kreuzberg. Director Arslan [...] accompanies her everyday life almost casually. He avoids the usual Turkish clichés and creates authentic portraits with a surprisingly entertaining ease. "
