- Omar is a 14 year old boy who was born in Berlin but to a Palestinian family. After being a strong candidate to be selected in the German football team, the Arab gang members of Sonnenallee street drag him in a car and they give him an ultimatum. They tell him that he either joins their gang or he quits the football team. Omar and his father Moufid have an argument after the father starts to be suspicious that his son might be hanging out with the Arab gang, but Omar denies it. Omar skips his football practice and he goes to his girlfriend’s house, Yulia. After spending time together, Omar tells Yulia that he has to go back home because he needs to help his dad out with the grocery shop. Yulia insists that she wants to go with Omar. Unfortunate events on Sonnenallee street lead to the discovery of Omar's relationship by his parents.
