Between 1963 and 1977, Germany recruited 21,000 Korean women as nurses as well as 7,000 Korean men as miners. Today, their children are searching for their identity. The film shows young women who have accepted a different lifestyle to that of their Korean parents. They feel at home in Germany, even if they are not fully accepted. Among Koreans they feel at home, but nevertheless, would not like to marry a Korean. The young women say what they like – and what they dislike – about Germany and Korea.
