Cantika, Klara and Pedro have recently started living together in a shared flat. Cantika and Klara already know each other from their IT training, Pedro is an architect and is still new to Germany. They have moved into an empty flat, but with every episode it gets cosier and the flatmates quickly become friends. The three of them meet in the shared kitchen at the end of the day and talk about their experiences in Germany: some things are still unknown and surprising, often funny things happen and sometimes there are difficulties. Cantika, Klara and Pedro support each other with challenges and celebrate their successes together - and the fridge door fills up with notes, photos, tips and memories.
 


Cheers to the flat share!

Today is the day! Cantika, Klara and Pedro move into their new flat. It's still empty, they even have to bring their own kitchen. What else is important when you live in Germany? Registration, evening rest, rubbish separation, cleaning schedule... but first, let's celebrate moving in - to the flat share!

The job interview

Pedro experienced a lot today! He was out shopping and had a little accident in the supermarket, so he was late for his job interview... but luckily it was just an exercise. Cantika and Klara give him tips on how to make a good start to his career in Germany.

The housewarming party - No!

The three flatmates are planning a housewarming party, but unfortunately Cantika is not in a party mood. She got some pretty direct feedback from her lecturer at vocational school. Will she be at the party?

The housewarming party - Yes!

The preparations for the housewarming party are almost complete and strange but delicious dishes have been prepared. The three friends wait for their guests and talk about what is still unfamiliar to them in Germany.
