Daniel is a wimp. Being cautious and clumsy, he hasn’t been very successful with women so far. On vacation in Turkey, he gets to know the female heart-throb Aylin who is interested in Daniel contrary to his expectations. Daniel is in seventh heaven. But he soon returns to earth with a bump when, back in Germany, he is introduced to Aylin’s family who just consider him a sissy. He decides to transform into a real macho man. Because that’s what women really want, right? Aylin’s brother Cem helps Daniel to become a real man – he gets him new clothes and takes him to Turkish clubs. With his refurbished masculinity he now gains the respect of Aylin’s family, but with unforeseen consequences regarding his beloved…
