Mercedes Mon Amour

This is a simple story about Bayram, a Turkish living in Germany, where he works as a street-sweeper. One day, he learns his uncle in Turkey (and only living relative) is very ill, Bayram decides to take some days off and more importantly, he takes all of his savings, so he can buy a brand-new Mercedes car and drive all the way to his very remote town.

Up to this point, we remain unsure about Bayram's initial intentions, as he's so proud of his car (going as far as being pretentious and overprotective to it); however and without spoiling anything, we end up feeling what he feels throughout his journey, to the point we want to see him succeed !
