A sun-soaked, lighthearted road-trip romance about spontaneous escape and the collision of desire, friendship, and self-discovery across a European summer.

Daniel’s drab existence as a physics teacher takes an adventurous turn when he falls in love with a Turkish girl named Melek. He spontaneously decides to follow her to Instanbul by car. On the road across Europe, he picks up his free-spirited friend Juli, who is secretly in love with him.
