Streets of Berlin: No place like home

Streets of Berlin: No place like home

On a cold November morning, the apartment of Otto Wagner and his family is evicted. After the takeover of the apartment building by the Ceylan Realty company, it is being vacated one by one. Not long ago, the house was still a symbol of the famous Berlin way of living. Now Ceylan wants to reconstruct the building in a luxurious way to convert it into condominiums.

But there is resistance. Four tenants in the building are absolutely desperate to stay in their affordable apartments. And each of them has their own reasons for doing so. The young Malovcic family has a baby on the way, Mrs. Kirschner has lived in the house for almost 60 years, Jenny Nowack is a single parent, her children have friends in the neighborhood and Peter de Boer, a freelance journalist, cannot afford a new apartment. He fights with the rebels in the social networks against the injustice on the Berlin housing market.

When the junior boss of the real estate company, Cem Ceylan, is found dead in front of the building, the Berlin homicide squad has a new case. Detectives Rubin and Karow investigate in the apartment building in the days of Covid-19 and are confronted with people's existential worries about their homes.
