Young Ibrahim “Ibo” Secmez, a first generation Turkish-German, has dreams of becoming a filmmaker and creating Germany’s first kung-fu action film. Though he has a successful start by making commercials for his uncle's kebab stand, his dreams are soon put on hold when his German girlfriend, Titzi, tells him that she is pregnant. Upset by Ibo’s hesitation to accept his impending role as a father, Titzi breaks up with him. At the same time Ibo’s parents kick him out for getting a German girl pregnant. Down on his luck but still trying to make his dreams come true, Ibo agrees to make commercials for the rival Greek kebab stand across the street from his uncle’s stand. This light-hearted comedy explores topics of immigration and multiculturalism in contemporary Germany, all while delivering some top-notch kung-fu action scenes.
