"The Turk doesn't belong here." – The sentence is not said openly, but systematically. Ben, 16, lives with his family in Cologne. His parents run a small grocery store. At school, he struggles with prejudice, tedious lessons and the feeling of being constantly watched. His best friend Philip – known as Flipper – stands by him, but even he senses that the system is writing them both off. A chemistry teacher with double standards and an overwhelmed German teacher are examples of a school system that confuses origin with performance. Ben doesn't want to be a victim. But what if you are constantly being told that you don't belong? Between school corridors, playgrounds and the streets of Cologne, the events condense into a story about exclusion, solidarity and the question of how much friendship can endure.
