  • "A business relationship turns into a love triangle when an ex-soldier begins working for a store owner and his beautiful wife."
  • "Jerichow : Renvoyé de l'armée et averti du décès de sa mère, Thomas retourne à Jerichow, une petite ville du nord-est de l'Allemagne. Il souhaite démarrer une autre vie."
  • "Drei Menschen treffen mit schicksalhafter Zufälligkeit aufeinander. Thomas (Benno Fürmann), jung, kräftig, wortkarg, Zeitsoldat in Afghanistan, bis man ihn unehrenhaft aus der Armee entlassen hat; Ali (Hilmi Sözer), vom Leben schon ein wenig mitgenommen, misstrauisch, aber immer noch leutselig, ein türkischer Unternehmer in Deutschland, der mit seinen Imbissbuden reich geworden ist; Laura (Nina Hoss), Alis Frau, attraktiv, distanziert, beherrscht, wie jemand, die schon vieles hinter sich hat."
  • "The eternal triangle: a rich guy; his bored, beautiful, blond wife; and a rugged stranger, down on his luck and ready for action. What more do you need? In this case, to know that the rich guy is a Turk who is still, despite having spent virtually his entire life in Germany, a permanent outsider. That the hot blond wife has a colorful past and owes large debts (which hubby now holds over her head). That the rugged stranger is a former soldier who received a dishonorable discharge after serving in Afghanistan, living in his dead mother's house. Jerichow is a nondescript spot in the former East Germany, where capitalism still has a somewhat primitive, half-criminal feel. The film conveys a sense of desperation and defeat, and highlights that what can happen at the crossroads of lust, loneliness, and materialism."
  • ""The Turkish diaspora in Germany proves the catalyst for this noir-flavored drama concerning the unlikely friendship between a veteran of the Afghan-Soviet war and a middle-aged Turk in need of a helping hand. Returning home for his mother's funeral when he happens across a business associate to whom he owes a sizable debt, Thomas (Benno Fürmann) subsequently stumbles into intoxicated Turk Ali (Hilmi Sözer) while fleeing in haste. Ali has nearly driven his van into a local canal, and now he needs a driver to chauffeur him around his modest kingdom of crumbling snack bars. Recognizing the opportunity to make some quick and easy cash, Thomas agrees. But Thomas doesn't know that Ali is an intensely jealous and distrustful man, two traits that threaten to spell tragedy when Thomas enters into a passionate affair with Ali's gorgeous German bride (Nina Hoss)."--Allmovie.com."
  • "Set in northeastern Germany, a business relationship turns into a love triangle when an ex-soldier begins working for a Turkish-born store owner and his beautiful wife."
  • "Yella : Laissant derrière elle un mariage raté, des dettes et un époux névrosé, Yella quitte sa petite ville de l'Est de l'Allemagne et part pour l'Ouest, au-delà de l'Elbe, dans l'espoir d'y trouver du travail et une vie meilleure."
  • ""In a small desolate town in northeastern Germany, a handsome ex-soldier, a Turkish businessman, and his beautiful, restless wife find themselves in a desperate love triangle"--Container."
