Irene laughs as she shows off the apartment where she lives with her husband and son. Something that is not unusual here, but would never happen in Kenya, is that guests only get as far as the living room; the rest of the apartment is off limits. Irene feels welcome here and she likes the Germans’ punctuality. After Lilian broke off her studies in Kenya, her father sent her to Germany on an exchange programme. She was initially unprepared for the culture shock. In the meantime, she has married Matthias. He loves techno and she loves African music; together they enjoy German pop music. Susan, on the other hand, always knew she wanted to live in Germany. At first it was difficult, but she took advantage of everything on offer, signed up for an intensive language course and now knows she wants to be a kindergarten teacher. The film gives us three women who have arrived. With a sense of humour, but also great ambition, they are realising the dream of a better life.
