A newly married German-Turkish couple; the young Turkish wife, Saniye is obsessed with the desire to have a baby and believes that a marriage can only be complete with a child. Her husband, Tom is just trying to establish himself in professional life, and is not at all enthusiastic about her reproductive instinct. She stops taking the pill without his knowledge, but her longing remains unfulfilled. When he finds out about her secret attempts to start a family, he is disturbed, but undergoes a seed test at her urgent request. The young couple begins a fatal journey into the all-promising, dispassionate world of fertility medicine. In contrast to Tom, who at some point realizes that they have gone the wrong way, there is no turning back for Saniye: her desire to have a child has become a fix - the love for Tom disappears more and more from her sight.

The movie is a little dull actually but i believe this effect has been given deliberately by the director herself to emphasize the obsession of Saniye in the film. Having met the director and talked to her about the film i can easily say that she's made a hell lot of research on the methods of having a child.
And also she actually thought of adding some inter-cultural arguments in Germany between the Turks and the Germans. But the producer actually told her not to go into that area. Perhaps it could have been a far more interesting film that way.
On the other hand, as for acting, İdil Üner has once again shown that she is a superb actress no matter what she's playing.
