After August 1968, over 13,000 people left Czechoslovakia for Switzerland. The Swiss media devoted considerable attention to the arrival of future fellow citizens. Due to the economic prosperity of the host country and the sympathy of the public, many professionals found good work. The film highlights the fact that many incoming people from former Czechoslovakia were undoubtedly a gain for Swiss society. In addition to testimonies of former Czechoslovakia emigrants – now Swiss – there is a lot of never-seen-before footage from Swiss TV.
Nini is a German girl and Jameelah an Iraqi girl with a life-long desire to become German. They are inseparable and like to rebel more or less, especially during breaks between lessons when mixing a little alcoholic cocktail they call Tiger Milk. It’s a stressful time: the decision on Jameelah's naturalization application is coming and they are also hoping for "it" to happen and they practice for “the main event” by observing the hookers who are streetwalking. But when they witness a murder, everything comes to a stop - their plans, their future, their lives.
