Berlin. The Wall has just fallen.
At odds with his religious Turkish parents, Aydin is drawn into Berlin's underworld and an obsession with the vulnerable Steffi. Imprisoned for inadvertent drug running, he finds himself in a world fraught with the dangers and divisions of Germany's turbulent past. Aydin is lured into substance abuse and violence. On the brink of destruction, he meets ageing aristocrat Heinrich von Weser, who resisted first the Nazis then the Communists, and now runs a hospice at his crumbling estate. He speaks seldom of the horrors he endured, but his dignity calls Aydin to strive for a new path in life.
Desperation, isolation, friendship, passion: Aydin is the story of a second-generation immigrant lost in the city, and how he finds himself.
