An inter-caste couple from India that had to break with their families in order to get married, a Japanese couple that was forced to marry and struggles with love, a knobby german postwar couple and two gay men from the United States, who were only allowed to marry after five decades, solving the associated legal problems by adopting each other. They all open up about their relationships, which have all lasted, remarkably, longer than fifty years. In frank and funny interviews, each pair reflects on life before and beyond the moments that brought them together, and how they’ve grown as partners.

Después de vivir 45 años en Alemania, el turco Hüseyin Yilmaz, de setenta años, anuncia a su familia que ha comprado una casa en Turquía y que deben volver para hacer las reformas necesarias. La idea no es bien recibida y provoca discusiones muy acaloradas. Además, Canan, una nieta de Hüseyin, anuncia que está embarazada y que el padre es su novio inglés, del que nadie sabía nada. Para consolar a su primo Cenk, un niño de de seis años, al que humillaron en la escuela tachándolo de “extranjero”, Canan le cuenta una fantástica historia sobre cómo abandonaron Turquía y fueron a parar a Alemania.
