Emre and Laura are working on a project. They actually only know each other from the bus stop. Emre is a young wheelchair user of Turkish descent. Exactly what Laura was looking for. She wants to write her master's thesis in sociology about him. Emre, on the other hand, wants, above all, to meet the pretty student again. So he agrees. From then on, the two meet regularly. The university project is sometimes difficult to distinguish from flirtation, and Laura's "scientific" questions contribute to this: "Have you ever been in a relationship?" - "I'm a virgin. But I can do it, right?"
