Haydi! Heimat!

Kemal's teacher said to bring an object to school, that represents what 'Heimat' is. The football jersey, says his father. Heidi, her favourite children's book from Turkey, says his grandmother. Kemal has no idea what to bring. Then Ella enters his room, the new girls from the 10th floor. She doesn't know what home is, either. She and her mother are continuously on the move.

Ella and Kemal decide to invent their own definition of what home is. They climb the stairs all the up in the high-rise, as summiteers with grandma's children's book, which they playfully interprete in all sorts of new ways.

An imaginative story about green alpine pastures and grey stairways begins. Until Ella's mother announces that they will move out soon. Kemal is furious and rips apart Heidi in his anger.

Inspired by the Johanna Spyri classic, Katja Hensel humoroulsy explores different interpretations of 'Heimat'. Because Ella and Kemal are creating their own in imaginative play and wholehearted togetherness. 'Haydi! – Let's go!'
