Johanna, a 17-year-old teenager, dreams of studying fashion design in Paris. While looking for a sponsor for her design career, she finds out who her real father is. A Turk who has been living for years with his family in Cologne, where he runs an elegant Turkish restaurant. Instead of facing her new situation and her feelings Johanna pursues her original plan to allocate the money for her studying. Without telling her father the truth she starts working as a kitchen help at his restaurant and unfortunately runs into a catastrophe...

“What are you ready to do to make your dream come true ? Rebellion, lies, what would Karamuk do to go and study in Paris ? Find her real father, put aside her maternal relationship to think about her future…” (Brice)
