Brief synopsis

Frank Satt( 24) is an uptight and stiff trainee teacher. He loves spending time alone in nature. When his girlfriend Luisa tells him she is pregnant, he doubts that he is the father.

Luisa leaves him. A few weeks later he has a random encounter with her. She is obviously pregnant now. After this encounter Frank loses his grip a bit. He is wandering the streets alone.

Then he meets Recep. Recep is a trumpetplayer in his fifties. Furthermore Recep is a political guy who fled turkey in the early eighties. Between the unequal neighbours slowly a friendship develops that´s accompanied by music.

Frank learns to behave unreasonably. And perhaps he will finally be ready to recognize fatherhood.
