The story of a family who has been living in Germany for 15 years with the residence permit status of being tolerated. Because of their status they can be deported to the Kosovo at every time. Hajrije, the single parent mother, is 42 years old. She lives with her 3 kids Arduan, Ramize and Bobby, her grandniece Melissa and Mee (Arduan's girlfriend) in the problem district Stuttgart Fasanenhof. Between trips to the authorities, familial tensions and the shortage of money, the Huseinis are living a dire existence of insecurity, always with the awareness that every day in Germany could be the last.
