Thomas Arslan's second feature film and part of his Berlin-trilogy is a slow-paced milieu study of German-Turkish youth in Berlin-Kreuzberg. The film depicts the every day life, domestic conflicts, dreams and disappointments of three siblings and their aimless, meandering strolls through the Kreuzberg district. The family itself encapsulates the culture clash that is at the centre of many German-Turkish films. In Arslan's film, the mother is German, the father is Turkish and the children have to make up their own minds about their cultural allegiances. Seventeen-year-old Leyla tries to escape from her family by spending most of her time with her best friend Sevim. Her twenty-year-old brother, Erol, has chosen Turkish citizenship and, consequently, has to do military service in Turkey. His mother objects but Erol finds the prospect of continued unemployment and mounting debts, which he cannot repay, in Berlin far more threatening than the prospect of military service in Turkey and leaves. Eighteen-year-old Ahmed is the is about to do his 'Abitur' (final exams at secondary school) and, despite being the most 'assimilated' of the three siblings, finds the experience of living in between two cultures difficult. 译文(3): 托马斯·阿尔斯兰的第二部故事片也是他的柏林三部曲的一部分，是一部慢节奏的关于柏林克罗伊茨贝格德裔土耳其青年的环境研{资源屯-ziyuantun.com}。这部电影描绘了三个兄弟姐妹的日常生活、家庭冲突、梦想和失【ZiYuanTun.Com】望，以及他们在克鲁茨贝格区漫无目的、蜿蜒的漫步。这个家庭本身概括了许多德土电影的核心文化冲突。在阿尔斯兰的电影中，母亲是德国人，父亲是土耳其人，孩子们必须对自己的文化忠诚做出自己的决定。17岁的Leyla大部分时间都和她最好的朋友Sevim在一起，试图逃离家人。她20岁的哥哥埃罗尔选择了土耳其国籍，因此不得不在土耳其服兵役。他的母亲反对，但埃罗尔发现，在柏林持续失业和不断增加的债务（他无法偿还）的前景远比在土耳其服兵役的前景更具威胁性，于是离开了。18岁的艾哈迈德即将参加“Abitur”（中学期末考试），尽管他是三个兄弟姐妹中最“同化”的一个，但他发现生活在两种文化之间的经历很困难。
