* FullMoonSilhouette: The ManInTheMoon hallucination sequence shows a bus traveling in front of the full moon.

* OperationJealousy: Leo already knows that Julia is interested in Daniel, but she's showing an interest in Leo in hopes it will make Daniel jealous. While dancing with her at a bar Leo intentionally assaults Julia (while telling other patrons at the bar who are his friends to not interfere) in order to spur Daniel into defending her. The act works, as not only does Daniel punch Leo into a nearby jukebox before leaving, Leo winks at Julia to let her know that was the plan all along. Julia gratefully smiles at him to gesture her thanks before Daniel leads her away.

* MarriageOfConvenience: Daniel and Juli claim to be married so that Daniel will be allowed with her into Romania (as his passport was stolen). The border official sees through it but lets him in anyway in exchange for a "marriage present".

* TheGreatPoliticsMessUp: Their journey takes Daniel and Juli through Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria, showing a brief panorama of the southern part of the former Eastern Bloc ten years after the fall of the Iron Curtain.

Daniel Bannier is a young teacher in-spe, who in contrast to everyone else plans to stay in UsefulNotes/{{Hamburg}} for the summer. Juli, a girl at the flea-market, who is in love with Daniel and sells him a Mayan ring with a sun on it, claiming that it is a lucky ring and that he will meet a girl with a sun, who is the one he is destined to be with (Juli has a sun tattoo). A short time later he meets the beautiful Melek (Idil Üner). She is wearing a shirt with a sun on it, so Daniel takes her out to dinner and they have a good time, but unfortunately she has to leave the next day. She mentioned that she is meeting someone under a particular bridge in Istanbul on Friday, so Daniel decides to travel to Istanbul to meet her. Meanwhile, the dejected Juli decides to hitchhike to wherever the first car she sees is going. That car just so happens to be Daniel...

Daniel Bannier is a young teacher in-spe, who in contrast to everyone else plans to stay in UsefulNotes/{{Hamburg}} for the summer. Juli, a girl at the flea-market, wants to get to know Daniel and manages to sell him a Mayan ring with a sun on it, foretelling him that he will meet a girl with a sun. A short time later he meets the beautiful Melek (Idil Üner), but unfortunately she has to leave the next day. One day later Daniel is already on his way across Europe to be in Istanbul under the bridge on the day Melek will be there. It seems to him the prophecy came true somehow...

* UsefulNotes/{{Hamburg}}: Just because the film takes the protagonists all across Europe does not mean Fatih Akin won't linger a bit in the beginning to show you what a great place Hamburg, and in particular Altona, the neighborhood where he lives, is in the summer. When Daniel takes Melek out for a beach picknick on the Elbe, it's enough [[ThatRemindsMeOfASong to make her burst into song]]!
