Die Kinder von Berne

Story

Documentary by Timo Großpletsch, who is using an inconspicuous camera to observe decisive moments in the lives of children in sheltered housing. He is present at the last English test, careers advise sessions and witnesses serious conversations between children and the people in charge. The film is very authentic, highlighting the important role institutions like Hamburg Berne play in facilitating a future for homeless children.
