Volkan, a Turkish young man, is starting an affair with Linda, a German girl rejected and ridiculed by Volkan´s friends. Linda falls in love and she hopes to tie up her Turkish mate by getting pregnant. Volkan however is afraid of such a responsability. He believes that he is not in love with Linda and he is afraid of losing his good “reputation” and “honour”, that his family is proud of. He and his friends desperately think about how to provoke an abortion. Linda is beaten up and now Volkan has to decide if he still can identify himself with the violence his friends have demonstrated...
