After an argument with her husband, a plump German woman spends the night alone at a roadside motel that also serves as a cafe. The thermos flask filled with coffee that she accidentally left behind during the argument follows her arrival, becoming the first prop in this magic act. The cafe owner's husband angrily leaves home, and she struggles to understand her son's music, accept her daughter's fashion, and bear the cries of her baby, making her an outsider in the lives of her three children; the cafe she runs has no coffee machine, and the bar is covered in dust; the motel she manages houses a painter who has yet to produce any work and a tattoo artist with no business. The hostess of Baghdad Cafe is wrapped in the dust of life, dimmed and unable to tolerate an unexpected guest. The German woman perceives everything she witnesses as a kind of comprehensible confusion and insists on staying. After a major cleanup, Baghdad Cafe becomes a rainbow in the desert; the men's clothing is transformed into trendy women's outfits to help the cafe owner's daughter through her adolescence; sitting aside, she listens to the cafe owner's son's piano performance; she learns magic using her husband's magic props and offers a performance at the cafe. What the German woman does is merely the norm of life, but in this cafe in the Baghdad desert, it truly seems like magic.
