SHORT SYNOPSIS LET’S BE HONEST—SUMMER BREAK IS THE BEST, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU’RE YOUNG. ENDLESS DAYS OF FREEDOM, NO RESPONSIBILITIES, JUST THE WARM, LAZY NOTHINGNESS OF SUMMER. BUT WHEN YOU'RE STUCK AT YOUR HOMETOWN, IT CAN BE SUPER FRUSTRATING. IN 2024, MORE THAN ONE IN FIVE GERMANS COULDN’T AFFORD EVEN A WEEK-LONG TRIP.
STILL, SHARED MOMENTS MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE. WITH FRIENDS AROUND, THE PARKING LOT AT YOUR LOCAL SUPERMARKET BECOMES SUNSET BOULEVARD, AND GOLDEN HOUR TURNS INTO THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SUNSET. HOW WONDEFUL CELEBRATES SUMMER AT HOME AND THE MAGIC OF UNEXPECTED COMMUNITY. BECAUSE IN THE END, IT’S NOT ABOUT WHERE YOU GO—IT’S ABOUT WHO’S BY YOUR SIDE.
