'''''Im Juli''' (In July)'' is a 2000 German-Turkish RoadMovie directed by Fatih Akin, starring Moritz Bleibtreu and Christiane Paul.

Daniel 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...

And then when a dejected Juli decides to hitch a ride anywhere on the first car to pick her up to get away from Hamburg, and then the first car to stop is driven by Daniel.
