Storyline

Director Eva Stotz visits people she has found in online host networks such as Couchsurfing.org and immerses herself in their lives for a limited period of time: her inspiring hosts are a music-loving Tuareg in Mali, a wildlife lover in Tokyo, an ecologist in the Palestinian West Bank, a dance enthusiast in Turkey and a visionary in the USA. The film discovers an exciting new way of traveling and tells of the longing for genuine encounters and an alternative to fear, isolation and mistrust in the modern world.
