Berlin-Gropiusstadt, a prefabricated housing estate on the outskirts of the city. On the last day of the year, three young people are at a turning point: Tarik receives a letter about his impending deportation, Stella gets accepted to an acting school abroad, and Luan wakes up from a nightmare in which he is left behind by both of them.

With his uncouth manner, Professor Pohl doesn’t enjoy the best reputation at the university where he works. To make matters worse, he makes a racist remark when student Naima arrives late for his lecture. Unfortunately for him, a video of his verbal outburst spreads like wildfire on the Internet, and the university’s president, Lambrecht, is called to deal with the incident. But Pohl is not dismissed. Instead, he is put to the task of helping Naima prepare for an important debating competition. The lecturer and the student could not be more different, yet they are thrown together to work as a team.
