Head On

Cahit stumbles from bar to bar in Hamburg, lost in an alcoholic haze. The boozy Turkish immigrant crashes his car into a wall, which lands him in a mental institution. There he meets the suicidal Sibel. She convinces him to marry her, because otherwise her family will arrange her marriage to a Turkish man of their choosing. She proposes a deal to Cahit: she will cook and clean for him and they can see other people. Thus begins their strange romance.
