Synopsis
Cem Balta, an aspiring imam, lives in Hanover with his wife Sehra and daughter Hanna. For the family, German culture is just as much a part of their lives as Turkish culture. At least that's what they thought until now. But when they take in Pia, the child of a friend, after a tragedy, they suddenly find themselves confronted with old prejudices. Even in their immediate environment, their decision to raise Pia causes heated discussions. And soon Pia's grandparents Christine and Theo Unger, who do not want their granddaughter to grow up with strangers and certainly not with practicing Muslims, also get involved. A custody battle ensues, which suddenly becomes about values such as faith, family and home...
