Berlin, the present. Ishmail, a married police officer of Turkish descent, cracks down on foreign workers but grapples with a strong attraction to an illegal immigrant named Leyla. Sammi is violently torn between his faith's teachings about homosexuality and his true feelings for a male co-worker. Then there is Maryam, the woman who has a story unlike the others... Afghanistan-born director Burhan Qurbani offers a bold feature debut about the lives of three young German-born Muslims living in today's Berlin.
Nominated for the Golden Bear, Berlin International Film Festival 2010
