Synopsis
Konrad, 85, portrayed by Jürgen Prochnow, is mostly in a grumpy mood. His wife died recently and his only daughter, Ingrid, did not just stay childless, she now even wants to marry her girlfriend. Konrad can’t help himself, he just doesn’t like it.
The young girl Thurba, 12, has very different problems. She jumps from a balcony on the second floor to avoid deportation as a Dublin-Case. Interim goal achieved: Family seperated, deportation foiled. But now she is alone on the streets, in October...
One night, Konrad hears something in his basemen, arms himself with a nail gun and fires into the darkness. He shoots little Thurba, who cries out in pain. Konrad is completely jumbled, this can’t be happening! But the girl moves him, whether he wants to or not.
Thurba is from Yemen and since 2017, one year after fleeing the war with her mother and two baby-brothers, stranded in Germany. The family is supposed to be send back to Bulgaria, where they were first granted refuge, but actually they want to go to London, where Thurba’s uncle lives.
So Thurba suggests a deal to old Konrad...
