Head-On (Gegen die Wand)
Cahit is a German Turk in his 40s. One night he semi-intentionally crashes into a wall. At the hospital he's taken to he meets a girl, Sibel, another German Turk who's tried to commit suicide. She's sick and tired of her family's ultra-traditional issues and asks Cahit to marry her, so that she can get rid of her family's revolting pressure. After the marriage, they live as roommates with separate private lives for a while. Then things take a different turn and they're no longer two indifferent roommates.
