Keď jedného dňa narazí autom do múru a takmer sa pritom zabije, ocitne sa na psychiatrickej klinike a jeho lekár sa snaží nájsť cestu z bludného kruhu pacientovej existencie. A práve tu, na nemocničnej chodbe, sa Cahil zoznámi s tureckým dievčaťom Sibel, ktoré sa pokúsilo o samovraždu. Jej rodina sa riadi tými najortodoxnejšími predstavami o postavení ženy v spoločnosti, ale Sibel zúfalo túži po voľnosti, ktorú Európanky považujú za samozrejmosť. Za jediné východisko považuje formálny sobáš s mužom tureckého pôvodu, a preto požiada Cahila o pomoc.

A Sibel si v sebe nesie nielen silné prianie získať slobodu a prekročiť hranice národnosti a náboženstva, ale aj túžbu po láske.
