These are people who are forced to sleep at their partners' or friends' places, in squats, or in temporary housing solutions. The documentary reconstructs the stories of four people affected by hidden homelessness: Aisha in Birmingham, UK, Dan in London, UK, Dagmar in Erlangen, Germany, and Biggy in Cologne, Germany. Their individual stories are testimonies, and an alarming indicator for societal changes going on in the presumably rich countries Germany and the United Kingdom, unnoticed by mainstream media; a growing difference between the rich and poor in two societies that become less and less permeable.
