Copilot tells the story of students Asli and Saeed, a Turkish-Arab couple settled in East Germany in the 1990s, who decide to get married in a Hamburg mosque despite opposition from Asli's mother. They promise to stay together and keep each other's secrets. Asli tries to find her way between self-determination, her traditional home, and her selfless love, but Saeed disappears. His decision will change Asli's life before shaking the entire world.
