In 2015, thousands of people came to Germany from Syria. A particularly large number of women, children and young adults left their home.

Cornelia Bartlau’s film is about three women who fled Syria and Iran with their children and are trying to make a new life in Jena. One of the film’s key questions is whether the wishes and dreams the women had before they fled their countries have been fulfilled in their new home. What were their experiences, how are they coping with the new language, and what job prospects do they have? Have they settled into their new home, or do they still feel like strangers?
