Mohsen Taheri (
Navíd Akhavan), son of a migrated Iranian butcher family, hates and is afraid of killing animals. When his father (
Michael Niavarani) is sick, he has to go to the post-
reunification East Germany to buy sheep. In a village there, Mohsen falls in love with former shot-putter Ana (
Anna Böger) who is vegetarian. Mohsen tells them that he is from a Persian textile dynasty, and the villagers hope he saves the village's textile industry. Mohsen becomes more and more en vogue until his family come to find him. == Prizes ==
