Cahit is a German Turk in his late 30`s. He has given up with his life after his beloved wife`s death, and he`s living a miserable life right in the core of cocaine and excessive drinking. One night, he semi-intentionally crashes into a wall, and barely survives. At the hospital he`s taken to, he meets a girl, Sibel, another German Turk who`s tried to commit suicide. She`s sick and tired of her family`s ultra-traditional issues, and asks Cahit to carry out a white marriage with her out of the blue, so that she can become a married woman and get rid of her family`s revolting pressure. Cahit is turned off by the idea at first, but then he agrees to take part in this plan. As Sibel tells him straightaway that she`s interested in absolute freedom involving other men and he agrees, they live as roommates with separate private lives for a while. Then things take a different turn, and they`re no longer two indifferent roommates. But their love story won`t be anywhere as simple as any other... (official distributor synopsis)
