Cleaning lady Paula works at a shopping mall in provincial Germany, where she meets Mustafa, an amiable Turkish security guard. At 30, Paula wants a man in her life, and promptly selects the unsuspecting Mustafa as the “chosen one”. Whilst Paula has amorous designs on him, Mustafa has other matters on his mind. He is under pressure to return to Turkey to get married. When Mustafa abruptly leaves Germany, Paula courageously follows him to the outer edges of Turkey. What she finds is not what she hoped for, but much more interesting. Spontaneous and refreshing, “When the Right One Comes Along” is a comedy about finding romance and oneself in the unlikeliest of places.

Paula Hartnagel es una limpiadora y lleva una vida muy normal. Le gusta su manera de vivir, pero vive en su propio mundo. Cuando cree que ha encontrado el hombre de su vida, se pone en marcha su cotidiano. Pero Paula confunde la cortesia con el amor. Un día que Mustafa no aparece más en su trabajo, ella empieza a buscarlo, pasando la más grande aventura de su vida. Creyendo en un milagro, Paula le sigue Mustafa para Adana una ciudad inmensa, sin tener ni dirección ni número de teléfono.
