13-year-old Linus, the son of success-oriented German-Lithuanian parents, begins to question the values of the adult world when he meets the fisherman Arūnas during a holiday in Lithuania.

A teenager on a motorbike finds his way back home, a remote village in northern Germany, before sunrise. A few children enjoy one of the last carefree summer days there. Under the clear blue sky, they do their first flight attempts and lose themselves playing games which the older ones have forgotten. Nevertheless, this day too is coming to an end and their siblings, who are barely older, take them to dinner and away from their childlike world.

Yasin El Harrouk is Yonii is actor, rapper, singer, Swabian, Moroccan. This portrait presents him as a lively shifter between life and creative cultures, between the roles he plays in the studio and in front of the camera, and the expectations that family and community have of him. Yonii has two languages and even more worlds – and enjoys this wealth. But on the sofa in his mother’s Stuttgart living room, it becomes clear that this range of different worlds also means a constant balancing act.

While the youth of Chemnitz is seeking its way into adulthood, the former GDR industrial menopolis is struggling to guide them along the way.
