SCREENINGS

Alida, Nadine, Kathi, Giselle and Omar are all at the Scharrer secondary school in Nuremberg. Their parents are from seven different countries. Their school does not offer them too many possibilities but they have a dream. They write their own texts with the poetry slammer Lucas Fassnacht.

The five protagonists are real characters, who at first find it difficult to write but eventually they find their own voice and start talking about their dreams, their origins, their identity. They really grow and at the end they stand on stage and perform their texts, proving that you can achieve anything you want if you believe in yourself.
