Kenny (31) from Sri Lanka tries to further his career as a musician in Berlin. He rents a spare room from Rola (80) who lives alone in a big house on the outskirts of Berlin. Two generations from two cultures meet each other and share the same living space. While the elderly lady Rola struggles with her past, Kenny is preoccupied with his present situation. For Kenny two conflicting circumstances develop, which bring Rola and him closer together. Generational differences, inter-culturality and trilingualism within a setting of daily life.
