Emel, Ömer and their son Ahmet are a family of Arab origin living in Germany. One day, in the playground, a man named Franz insults Emel for wearing a headscarf and ends up spoiling more than their peaceful day. The incident is taken to court, and Franz's arguments and the ongoing hearings become a turning point that will radically change the family's life. Based on a tragic event that took place in Germany in 2009, the director reveals the brutality of racism embedded in today’s society.
