Luise who converted to Islam when she was 19, lives in Germany with her parents, her Algerian husband and their two children. She no longer wears European clothes. She wears a veil and attends mosque regularly. Today, she is 25 and feels perfectly happy in the world she chose for herself. Her husband, Mohamed, is a computer sciences student. They have a little girl and are expecting a second child. They live with Luise’s parents. In this family microcosm, the director examines the frictions amplified by all of society. If, on the outside the family is united, the contradictions are in fact permanent.
