Sabine is slightly down on her luck. Her kids are on vacation, her husband has left her, and things aren't going very well at work. Over Christmas, she decides to volunteer at a refugee camp, preparing a stage production of William Tell with the residents in time for New Year's. While Sabine concentrates on directing the group, the asylum seekers have other problems to deal with: staying in the country, love, family, and, of course, the German language. Will they be ready for the curtain call?
