An exploration of contrasting European and American attitudes towards race, Taking place in the 60's, Turner is an African-American soldier stationed in Europe. His Captain gives him a promotion and a three-day to take the weekend off because he thinks he's an exceptional black man. Over the course of the three days, Turner meets a beautiful white Parisian woman and a love affair ensues. Racial misunderstanding and real prejudice complicate the weekend and its aftermath.
