When Zinos (Adam Bousdoukos, Head-On) hires a gourmet chef for his struggling Hamburg restaurant, Soul Kitchen, it only serves to drive away his low-life regulars. Meanwhile, Zinos' girlfriend, Nadine (Pheline Roggan, Dancing With Devils) has moved to Shanghai to take a reporting job. A new hip clientele helps bring the restaurant back from the brink, but Zinos' heart still needs fixing, so he flies to China, leaving Soul Kitchen in the hands of his criminal brother, Illias (Moritz Bleibtreu, Run Lola Run, The Baader Meinhof Complex). Bad move on both counts: Illias gambles the eatery away and Nadine has a new lover. But the brothers have a chance to repair the damage if they can just stop arguing and work as a team.
