Plot
Sol Jensen, a young Icelandic woman, and Halil Atesh, originally from the countryside in Turkey, meet in Reykjavik and fall passionately in love. Ten years later, Halil becomes an established businessman, while Sol runs a beauty parlor. Their two daughters, Leila and Aysiia, attend a Catholic school despite Halil's Muslim background and much to his grief. The split between him and Sol increases with the growing up of their daughters in a culture that is not his.
