Evet, ich will is a refreshing Turkish–German comedy about four cross-cultural couples in Berlin. All are challenged to grapple with political, cultural, and religious differences in the name of love.

  • One of the couples are Emrah and Tim. Emrah’s traditional Turkish family does not know that he is gay and his parents have already found a bride for him.

  • Tim, who is German, makes it clear that their relationship is over if Emrah marries this woman…

  • Despite their fathers’ bitter resistance, Kurdish-German Coskun and Turkish-German Günay want to marry

  • Turkish-German Özlem loves the German Dirk whose parents never married and are against Dirk’s conversion to Islam

  • Salih arrives from Turkey wanting to find and marry a German citizen so that he can stay in Germany

Serious issues of intercultural relationships are presented with humor as the film sensitively interweaves prejudices and realities.
