Living in Berlin, 17-year-old Hazal is desperate for a better future, hoping to achieve more in life than her parents did. She finds herself torn between two paths: her mother pressures her to pursue a hairdressing apprenticeship, while her aunt Semra, a social worker, encourages her to complete her Abitur. Despite working at her mother’s bakery and sending out hundreds of job applications, Hazal receives no responses. She attempts to attend job training programs, but these prove to be too time-consuming and are marred by experiences of discrimination.
