Sinopsis:
They're from two worlds that rarely intersect and almost never interact, even in Berlin: Can, a swaggering young Turk with a supersize ego; and Simon, an affluent university professor. It's Simon's son Felix who brings them together. Drawn into Can's unwholesome orbit, Felix is too weak to break away from his friend's pull. Simon thinks he can solve this problem, like so many others, through rational discourse. But when this leads nowhere, he has Can arrested for drug dealing. The Turkish youth is doubly humiliated: by Simon and by his own father, who disowns him as his son. Can may be inarticulate, but he is clever. Embedding himself into Simon's world - his home, his life, the lives of his wife and son - Can unmasks the falsity and hypocrisy of Simon's comfortable upper-class world. Now it is Can's turn to humiliate his tormentor. Having lost his honor, Can has nothing left to lose; but how long will Simon, a man with everything to lose, put up with Can?
