Overview

Six friends from different ethnic backgrounds search for their way into adulthood in Berlin between traditions, their parental homes and everyday life in Germany. In six episodes, the series tells the inspiring stories of a group of friends who grew up in Berlin in second generation. Coumba, Ani, Zehra, Jamila, Mo and Nikki are in their early 20s and deal with a variety of questions: How can I help my parents when they visit the authorities? Is my origin the only reason why my partner is interested in me? As a daughter of a conservative, traditional family, how can I tell them that I love women? Do I have to go to university in order to make my family proud? Who am I really, and who do I want to be? Together, they struggle to find their place in society while pursuing their own dreams, reflecting on their identity and confronting the profound questions of life.
