Oktay is a chauffeur. In the daytime, he drives the rich and beautiful around Berlin. Through his rearview mirror, he sneaks glances at their exciting and carefree lives. In the evening, he cooks for his pubescent daughter and tries desperately to keep his small family together after his wife left them. Simultaneously, brown bear Bruno's flight from his pursuers, through mountainous forests, is keeping the nation in suspense. When Oktay loses his job, he starts rushing through the city like Bruno and builds a house of cards made of lies. Oktay tries to hide the bitter experience of his rapid social decline from Celina and the people around him – at all costs. When he meets a mysterious woman in Celina's schoolyard, he pretends to be someone he is not. The first date goes well. But disaster is about to strike…
