The story
At the height of his career, German-Syrian pop star Yakoub is struggling with a crisis of meaning. He receives unexpected news about his father, who abandoned Yakoub’s mother more than 30 years earlier and has now returned to Germany from Syria. Soon after arriving, his father suffers a heart attack and lies in a coma in hospital. He has brought along Yakoub’s 15-year-old half-sister, Latifa, who does not understand German. Yakoub, meanwhile, does not speak Arabic and is conflicted about his Syrian origins. Despite their inability to communicate, Latifa doggedly stays close to him.
