The Cologne boutique owner Tülya Metin has designed her first fashion collection and hired the renowned fashion photographer Ellis Mönchberg to take top-notch photos of it. But who would have thought that Ellis would turn out to be such a tough nut to crack when it comes to friendly approaches, that even Tülya, with her stunning charm, hits a wall. The former war photographer has her reasons for being so withdrawn: her heart is hardened. At least, that's what she tells herself. A lively Tülya is just a nuisance to her. Ellis wants to complete her assignment and retreat back into her shell. But of course, it’s not that simple.
