"What do you think of
me?"
The young German-Polish Jana (BEBA EBNER) does everything possible to give the impression of a straight acting woman. Her good-looking, bourgeois friend David (FLORIAN SONNEFELD) and her pretence to work for a newspaper are attempts to hide her inner conflicts and her true occupation of a social worker in the low-prestigious Berlin district of Neukoelln. But there is the young German Turk Nazim (ERALP UZUN), who also tries hard to keep up the appearance of straightness. Night after night he goes out with his homies, dances with girls like Jana and deals with drugs on Hermann Square. Neither his best buddy Akin (OKTAY ÖZDEMIR) nor his playmates are suspicious. Since his nocturnal encounter with a young German guy on Sonnenallee it has got more difficult for him to keep up the façade of normal life. This is the beginning of a love triangle that is dangerous for the self-understanding of all parties: because Nazim's new lover is noone else but Janas boy friend David... STRAIGHT - a turbulent ménage ŕ trois in multicultural Neukölln. |
