Julia and Marie have recently moved to Berlin and are waiting for their friend Brigitta to arrive for a visit.

After picking her up from the train station, the two roommates are very excited to show Brigitta their apartment. She is impressed, but also very tired from traveling.

After a good night's sleep and a delicious breakfast, Brigitta's friends want to take her out to see their neighborhood. They hope that they can even convince her to move there.

Brigitta finds out that her friends are having some trouble getting along as roommates and communicating about their expectations.

When Marie comes home and has a few complaints about living with Julia, it's clear to Brigitta that the two of them need to talk.

When all three friends are back at the apartment, Brigitta encourages Marie and Julia to speak about what's bothering them.

Julia met a really nice guy at a party that the three friends attended. The next day, they talk about how she should proceed.
