Despite his doubts, Altay wants to extend his visa in order to continue living in Germany. At the immigration office, he receives a clear response: to remain in the country, he must provide a reason. What is meant as a purely bureaucratic question pushes Altay to reflect on why he does what he does. This difficult process sends him into the streets, talking with people.

Through the use of animation and visual effects, this chance universe takes on a distinctive form. Neukölln Spiderman is a dynamic film that combines existential inquiry with vibrant portraits of humanity
