Kafana na Balkanu
Balkan, Baby
Martina is a good immigrant. At least she's always done everything she can to be perceived as such in Germany. But then she meets the young Dunja during a short vacation at Lake Starnberg. Dunja is self-confident, non-conformist and, above all, she stands by her Yugoslavian and Balkan origins - unlike Martina. Suddenly, Martina is forced to confront a part of her identity that she has repressed all her life.
