    Synopsis

    Chemnitz used to be an East German industrial metropolis and for the young people the path to adulthood was usually well defined - they obtained their training and sometimes remained in the same company for decades. Nowadays, the young generation has big dreams and all the possibilities, at least in theory - but they also have parents who experienced the exact opposite back in their youth. So it's very easy for both generations to feel misunderstood. Chemnitz is no longer what it once was, but that is also nothing new - and if it realized this fact, the young generation could be its future.
