Documentary

There are significantly fewer people with a migrant background living in eastern Germany than in the west. Those who do not look German or speak a different language are more likely to stand out. The film shows how people find their way between feeling like outsiders and belonging: a young man born in the Ore Mountains with Vietnamese roots, a Syrian refugee family who open a bookshop in Erfurt, and the residents of a shared accommodation facility in Saalfeld, Thuringia.
