Plot summary
Eva teaches at a grammar school and puts a great deal into her work. When her mother dies, she looks for something to reorient her life. Then a new pupil arrives in her class: Sevda, a Turkish girl who is clever and sure of herself. Her headscarf is a matter of personal conviction, and she claims the right to practice her religion without limits. Rolf, the principal, fears for the calm of the school and wants the headscarf prohibited. Eva prefers a different approach, one she thinks will last: she wants to bring Sevda around rather than forbid the scarf.
