    Synopsis:
     "I´m ambitious, I learn until I´m dead. I try every day, one word, one word. Maybe it takes a lifetime, but I do learn. Why not? I´m just like all other people, have a head, have a feet too."

    Eight migrant  women of different origins, all participants in a German language course in Berlin, describe the arc of their own lives, from their childhoods right up to the situations in which they find themselves today. They search for the right words, struggle to find each phrase, grabbling with language, often finding new word creations and metaphors to express what moves them so deeply. And they are really funny. If words fail them, gestures or looks bring their narrations to life, make them touching and beautiful.
      So what do they talk about?
    About life, love, displacement and the wish to finally arrive. Here. In Germany. In other words – about themselves.
