You Elvis, Me Monroe

Du Elvis, Ich Monroe

A Turkish woman with a Marilyn Monroe obsession hooks up with her new neighbor, an Arab. Although the young man occasionally intones Elvis Presley songs to the guitar, as requested by her, the relationship soon falls into crisis, especially since the fun-loving single mother also begins an affair with a blonde who bears a vague resemblance to Monroe. The love potions are watched curiously and commented on by other residents of the Kreuzberg apartment building.
