Cem, Mehmet and Dilan are brothers and sisters. Their father brought them and their mother to Germany from Turkish Kurdistan fifteen years ago. Cem, the eldest, works in a sausage factory and has long been the right age to marry, according to his parents.

Then he falls in love with the German prostitute Kim in a Turkish night club...Cem′s younger brother, Mehmet, sees his chance with his friend Arif to land "the big coup" in dealing with drugs. When Arif falls in love with Mehmet′s little sister Dilan, Mehmet takes his new job even more seriously...At the same time, their parents′ native village in Kurdistan is destroyed: a reason for them to begin preparations for Cem′s wedding and to bring the cousin to Germany. Cem, who loves Kim, is faced by a conflict....
