Ralf and Johnny are expatriates who experience life in one another's country. Ralf is a young artist from Germany living in America. Johnny is a young artist from America living in Germany. Both made an artform out of life itself and believe the new country of residence is the only place where an existence free from social and cultural expectations seems possible.
However, they made an unusal choice: being a foreigner. As Ralf and Johnny's lives are being documented over the course of one year, their discovery of the "foreigner self" marks the beginning of a long and rocky road between finding and losing oneself. Moreover, reality always seems to be catching up with people.
