The tower block area "Am Kölnberg" has a bad reputation. People who - for any number of reasons - ended up on the edge of society, live here alongside refugee families and immigrants from all over the world. Unemployment, drug abuse and prostitution are part of everyday life for many of them. The film accompanies 4 people over a period of two years and portrays their life at "Kölnberg" with ups and downs. One thing they all have in common: The dream of leading a fulfilled life, far away from "Kölnberg".

After escaping the war in Syria, a family learns to negotiate their new lives in Germany. But when the siblings begin to explore their transgender identities within their newfound freedom, their parents push back hard as they cling to strict religious and cultural ideologies.

El Manguito is a small village in the inaccessible woodlands of Sierra Maestra in Cuba. Twelve people live there, cut off from the outside world, without electricity supply and drivable roads. Idael, the head of the familiy, his wife Nelcis, his children, friends and brothers.

The desert between Sásabe and Nogales. It was there, in 2020, that a wall stretching along the border was erected. Thirty kilometres further on, the wall of rusted steel bars comes to an end, and the border between the US and Mexico is marked only by hills and ravines. Due to extreme droughts and heat, this stretch is one of the most dangerous overland migration routes in the world. On the American side of the border, a group of volunteers is providing aid to thousands of migrants, supplying them with water, food, and medical assistance. Each of them has different motivations, but they are united by one thing: a refusal to stand idly by and look the other way.
