There are different stories in this movie that fall together. The main character Ibo is a moviemaker who wants to make the first German Kungfu movie. Aside he makes successful commercials for the eatery King of Kebab owned by his uncle Achmet. Ibo is in a relationship with German girl Titzi and this relationship is in danger when Titzi gets pregnant. Because of the pregnancy differences between Turkish and German culture arise and Titzi and Ibo have fight over keeping the baby and the fatherhood of Ibo. Ibo is kicked out of the house by his father because of the pregnancy and he and his father are not on speaking terms, Ibo is being exiled. Ibo himself needs to embrace the upcoming fatherhood and learns by trial and error, also to prove Titzi he can be a good father.
In between you see in the movie a gang of 3 men extorting King of Kebab and the long lasting clash between Turkish King of Kebab and a greek tavern called Bouzouki.
In the end everything comes together. The clash between the Turkish and Greek restaurant is solved by the exchange and acceptance of a seemingly same dish (food with wine leaves). The gang of 3 men is defeated by Ibo and this is turned into a final commercial which is both promoting King of Kebab and tavern Bouzouki. Ibo proves he can be a good father and marries Titzi. The relationship between Ibo and his father is restored, issues of differences in cultures are resolved. And finally, Ibo is offered to make his first German Kung fu movie.
