Macedonian Don and his buddy Kalle have been friends since childhood and have practically spent their whole lives together. They now live together in a shared flat and are about to graduate with a brilliant degree in civil engineering when terrible news arrives: Don is to be deported after all these years in Germany! What's more, his mother sends him a cake from Macedonia - Don thinks he's supposed to marry his promised fiancée Hatice... Don and Kalle, machos of the finest kind, start to panic. Only Hedi, the neighbor who studies psychology, stays cool and has the idea that saves the day: Don should simply enter into a sham marriage so that he can stay in Germany... But it's not that easy, because Don and Kalle have only ever used women and seen them as sex objects...
