Set in a working-class Hamburg neighborhood, the story follows two Germans with Turkish roots who get together in a marriage of convenience. He has given up with his life after his beloved wife's death, and he's living a miserable life right in the core of cocaine and excessive drinking. One night, he semi-intentionally crashes into a wall, and barely survives. At the hospital he's taken to, he meets a girl, Sibel, another German Turk who's tried to commit suicide. She's desperate to get away from her restrictive family, so she asks Cahit to marry her. Wanting to change his life anyway, Cahit agrees to the arrangement. As Sibel tells him straightaway that she's interested in absolute freedom involving other men and he agrees, they live as roommates with separate private lives for a while. Cahit takes that very easy in the beginning, but he then accidentally kills one of Sibel's lovers and is sent to jail. Sibel moves to Turkey where she gets a job. After serving his sentence, Cahit is released from jail and he immediately sets off for Istanbul to find her.
Head-On (Gegen die Wand) won the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival in 2004.
