Yasemin (1988)

Plot Summary

20-year-old Casanova Jan falls in love with 17-year-old Turkish girl Yasemin, who lives in Germany with her family. She's well-protected by her father, who believes in the Turkish traditions. She must struggle for every little freedom that her German friends might take for granted, but she still respects and loves her father and keeps the appearance of an honorable Turkish girl, but her love for Jan disturbs this fine balance. So it's not hate or quarrel that interferes with their love, but the differences of their cultures.
