    Storyline

    Edit
    Opposite worlds collide when Baran, a Turkish gigolo meets Marion, a German pilot, on the beaches of Marmaris. In his pursuit of a better life in Europe, Baran convinces Marion to take him back to Germany, but what starts as an arrangement begins to develop into something deeper. An examination of life's unpredictability and progression from a troubled past, to a complicated present and the hopeful promise of the future. —Happy_Evil_Dude

    Interesting and realistic "Green Card" story
    The protagoniste is very well portrayed by the main actress - a woman with many routines, but little true relationships in her life, a medical condition that prompts her to help a stranger, and an unexpected development that might make her rethink her life. The story has an interesting ending that makes one think rather than trying to explain.
