He plans to give the money to his ex-girlfriend, Cora, who lives in the Brandenburg countryside. She has a 17-year-old daughter named Juju, who does not know who her father is. Nabil realizes that he is her father and tries to get to know the girl better. Father and daughter travel to Berlin together and look up Nabil’s former accomplice, Ivo. However, he refuses to hand over the stolen money. After Nabil and Juju manage to get hold of it through tricks and coincidences, the father, mother, and daughter drive to Beirut with an orange tree in the car, since Nabil’s last wish is to show his daughter the city where he was born.
