Synopsis:

Overeducated, underemployed professionals Hugo (Yon González, trained in the financial sector) and Braulio (Julián López, a scientist) are lured by an advertisement for jobs in Germany. Hugo literally runs into Carla (Blanca Suárez), a fellow Spaniard who has finally broken through as a professional after a similar struggle with underemployment, within minutes of arriving in Berlin. Hugo and Braulio room with Carla and her drug-dealing slacker brother Rafa (Miki Esparbé), sharing a building with an older Spanish expatriate, Andrés (José Sacristán), who sees the struggles of his generation echoed in Hugo and Braulio. A dispiriting, fruitless search for work in their trained professions ensues, as the language barrier proves insurmountable...

Two young Spanish men, with a university education, are tired of unemployment and decide to move to Germany. But soon they will find out that finding a better living is not as easy as they expected.
