3 Türken und ein Baby or 3 Türken & ein Baby (English: 3 Turks and a baby) is a 2015 German comedy film, written and directed by Sinan Akkuş. Starring the German rapper Eko Fresh and the actors Kida Khodr Ramadan and Kostja Ullmann, the film tells the story of the three Yildiz brothers Celal, Sami and Mesut, who live under one roof and lead a chaotic bachelor life. That changes suddenly, when a little baby comes into their lives that they have to take care of. In 2015 3 Türken und ein Baby was nominated for the Civis Media Prize for Integration.[1]
Plot
The three German-Turkish brothers Celal, Sami and Mesut are in their thirties and still live together in their parents' small apartment in Frankfurt am Main, running the inherited bridal fashion store without success. Womanizer Celal cannot get over the separation from his ex-girlfriend Anna and wants to open a mobile phone shop, but has gambled away their joint inheritance. Sami longs for a wife. However, his first dates often go down the drain because of his quickly budding rage. The youngest brother, Mesut, is a hopeless romantic and dreams of a career as a successful musician. However, this does not fit in with his recent decision, which is to adhere the rules of the Quran.
The brothers' situation worsens when they suddenly have to take care of Anna's baby when she is hospitalized. With help from Sami and Mesut, Celal tries to fulfill his duties as a surrogate father. After a chaotic start, the three brothers learn to take responsibility and to take on the busy duties of a father. They begin to enjoy the company of their little foster baby.
