The tragic comedy dramatizes the question of identity and belonging for former Turkish guest workers in Germany and their descendants.

Cenk's 22-year-old cousin Canan is pregnant with the child of her British boyfriend David but she has not told the family yet.

Together, the family flies to Turkey where they rent a bus to drive to their old hometown in East Anatolia to see their new house.

Hüseyin receives an invitation to give a speech at an official thank-you ceremony for guest workers at Bellevue Palace.

After driving further, Hüseyin suddenly dies and since he recently received German citizenship, Turkish authorities refuse to allow him to be buried in a Muslim cemetery.
