“I am a woman with oil coming out of her body and whose husband has disappeared”, repeats Foziye, describing the reason why she must emigrate to Germany.
Foziye is in her 50s, trying to find her missing husband under the pretext of having something extremely important to tell him.
Her terrible secret is not revealed until the day her daughter and sister find out she has a body that produces crude oil.
