Jargo is a German teen brought up in Saudi Arabia. Moving to Berlin, Jargo maintains his Arabian clothing until he encounters a similar aged German Turk Kamil and here begins his introduction into the world of juvenile cool (read delinquency). He then has to decide which girls he likes while being pressured by his father to get laid.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Maria Solrun is Icelandic-German; this is her only feature, made after years of acclaimed shorts at Cannes.
The film quietly captures a specific 2000s Berlin moment: Turkish-German youth culture, post-reunification drift, and European cinema's obsession with Arab-coded identity long before it became mainstream discourse.
