Imagine constantly imagining that you are going to be deported despite the fact that where you live is your home. That is the fate of three musically-talented Lebanese teenagers, Hassan, Lial, and Maradona. These three siblings live in Germany and are constantly facing the threat of deportation. Germany is the only home they have ever known, and German is the only language they speak. Hip-hop and street dance are their passion, and they use their passions to help keep the family afloat financially. Their love of dance and music help them get through each day, but will it be enough? Are they going to have to face being deported again?
