Synopsis
Zinos is a restaurant owner in Hamburg who can’t seem to catch a break: he’s hurt his back and can’t move, his old clients are abandoning him, and his girlfriend, Nadine, has left him to get a job in Shanghai. Fueled by desperation, he revamps the restaurant to bring in new crowds and does not hesitate to go to China to find Nadine. Except, in order to leave, he has to place the business in the hands of his brother, a choice that may be a recipe for disaster.
