action

Jakob is an old-fashioned, unworldly bachelor who owes his landlady money and who worked on a piece of classical music for months. The record company he wants to sell it to has gone bankrupt. Another, who only produces pop music and has no interest in his classical work, sends him to Istanbul to find a Turk pop song as the summer hit of the year.

Didem is a lively Turkish woman who lives in Berlin, studies fashion design and later wants to found her own fashion label Babylonia Fashion with her college friend . Her father wants her to take over his textile company later and thinks that she is studying economics in Berlin. When a letter comes from their (alleged) university with the de-registration from their university, the worried parents fly to their daughter in Germany. Didem is warned by her uncle Ali, who was supposed to take care of her, but instead designs clothes with her. Now Didem, who previously lived in his apartment with her German boyfriend, has to quickly get her own apartment. Jakob and Didem meet by chance on the street and spontaneously decide to help each other. Didem is allowed to use Jacob's apartment for five days, in return he gets her parents' apartment in Istanbul. Jakob hung up little pieces of paper in his apartment to tell her what she was allowed to do and what not, but she and her friends didn't care and throw the pieces of paper away. When their parents arrive, they are initially satisfied.

Jakob has meanwhile come to Istanbul and is picked up at the airport by Didem's brother Serkan. Jakob immediately starts looking for the hit and tries his luck in the club where Serkan works as a DJ. In the course of time he found the music he was looking for in street musicians. He returns to Berlin early and is discovered naked in the bathroom by Didem's parents. They now have to act for their parents as a couple in love, which Didem's father sees through. He offers Jakob money to give up Didem. Jakob had really fallen in love with Didem, but he also needs the money because he cannot sell the musical material he brought with him. In his distress he goes to a pawnbroker who takes him to his old recording studio. There they record the song Kuss-Kuss on the Bosporus together with two rapping Turks .

After tangible differences between Jakob and Didem's ex-boyfriend, the owner of a record label that was supposed to publish the song, Didem and her parents fly back to Istanbul. Although Didem refuses because she has not yet passed her final exams as a fashion designer, her parents prevail. But since her uncle and Jakob present the dress to the head of the course, Didem becomes a state-approved fashion designer in absentia. Jakob borrows money from the pawnbroker again to fly to Istanbul and meet Didem there. There he manages to convince her and her parents of their love.

Reviews

"Conventional, at the same time lovable and fresh romantic (television) comedy that lives from the playful charm of its actors as well as from the cultural differences of the music."

- Lexicon of international film

“It is particularly gratifying that the film dispenses with the cliché of a Turkish family that has still not really arrived in Germany. Instead, it shows a Turkish world that we rarely pay attention to. And it also makes you smile. "
