The "Cafè Waldluft" is no longer what it once was. At one time, the town of Berchtesgaden, in the picturesque Bavarian Alps, was a renowned, busy tourist destination, but from those years only a few elderly and loyal clients remain. Instead, the hotel hosts refugees from all over the world, who here await and dream of a new beginning and a new life, despite infinite bureaucratic obstacles. At the Cafè Waldluft we witness the encounter of faraway worlds and their diverse languages, customs, and characters, under the watchful maternal eye of the owner and the incredulous elderly tourists who struggle to grasp a changing society. The hotel, therefore, becomes the site of experimentation of a new world.
