Synopsis

Berlin, end of the 70s. Six-year-old Metin lives in Kreuzberg. He is Turkish and at the age of six he already has a lot to do. He is not yet at school and his parents both work. Most of the time Metin is alone and has to go shopping, look after his little sister and help out around the house. Anne, a German girl of the same age, has just moved into the front building. She makes friends with Metin and he, who knows his way around, shows her Kreuzberg. The two find the language difficulties more comical than divisive. However, their friendship meets with little understanding on both sides. The Turkish children don't like Anne and the Germans don't want to play with Metin. So they mostly keep to themselves. The situation becomes increasingly difficult, but then Anna has a great idea of how to shake up the prejudices on both sides - at least for a while.
