action
Robert Leitner is a young stiff German recycling specialist who fell out with his father Achim. Then his father disappeared. His mother says he traveled to Iran to collect an old bill and thus save her company from bankruptcy. Robert then sets off for Iran at his mother's request. There he is greeted by Shirin, an Iranian German teacher. At that time, her aunt Mehrnaz bought the weaving machines and then didn't pay for them. Robert soon finds out that his father was often in Iran and a different person there.
Then Achim reappears at home. Robert stays in Iran anyway to learn more about his father from Mehrnaz. Since Robert and Shirin are not allowed to travel together to Mehrnaz in Kashan, Robert first converts to Islam and then marries Shirin for a while. On the journey, the two get closer. Shirin, who is herself enthusiastic about the German poets Schiller and Goethe, shows Robert something of the Iranian culture. Robert, on the other hand, is reluctant. When Robert learns that Shirin is already engaged, he is disappointed.
Achim has now also traveled to Iran and Kashan. Mehrnaz demands the 100,000 euros bridal allowance agreed in the marriage contract for Shirin, as Achim refuses to get to know their son Roshan. Achim then steals two valuable carpets and wants to flee with his son. When Robert found out, he gave the carpets back to Mehrnaz. His half-brother Roshan accompanies him and Achim to the airport. There they are overtaken by Mehrnaz and Shirin. Shirin said no at the wedding.
