For the first half this plays like a german/turkish/kurdish version of The Constant Gardener. A turkish cafe owners kurdish wife is murdered and through the investigation he and we seem to discover her secret double life as a PKK fundraiser. Later on this is shown as a fallacy based on prejudices of the german police investigators, who are not really interested in finding the murderer. If you follow the news, you will know that sort of behavior is rather common in german law enforcement.
What could have been a timely and emotionally powerful story is sadly let down by the film's weak script and especially by the terrible dialog script. I first thought it was the actors, but no it was the wooden things they had to say... unfortunately that destroys much of what the film tries to archive.
