NICO'S WEG

 

Synopsis : 

Nico's Weg is listening to German lesson when he runs into Emma and her mother. As Nico leaves the airport, he has some bad luck with his suitcase. Nico still doesn't have his luggage, and can't exactly remember his aunt's address. Nico learns how to tell Emma and Lisa his name in German. Nico thinks he has maybe found his bag, but no such luck. Nico, Lisa, and Emma run into Lisa's friend Max, who suggests that they get Lisa's father to help with Nico's situation. Lisa calls her father, a policeman, to see if he can help find Nico's aunt. Nico and Emma play a game in the car just before Lisa drops her off at a birthday party.

While Lisa drops Emma off at a birthday party, Nico waits in the car and hears something interesting on the radio. Nico has the bold idea to call a radio station and tell them about his missing bag. Nico and Lisa go to the police station, where her father files the little information Nico can give him. Nico goes to the "Wohngemeinschaft" where Lisa lives and meets her housemates, who are getting ready for a party. When Nico shows Nina and Sebastian the photo of his aunt, Sebastian has the idea to post the photo online and see if anyone recognizes the bicycle shop. Nico and his friends order pizza and find out that someone has responded to the photograph of his aunt's bicycle shop on social media. Nico and Lisa eat pizza with Lisa's roommates and talk about the party they are having. Nawin receives some nice souvenirs at his farewell party, and he and Nico and Lisa discuss various German cities.

Nico learns that Nawin has gotten a job in France, but is reluctant to leave Germany. Lisa is in a rush the next morning, but promises Nico that they will go see his aunt after she is finished with work. Nico comes by after Lisa is finished teaching. While Lisa is on the phone with a potential new housemate, Nico takes a look around the room. Nico is disappointed to find out they have the wrong address for his aunt's bike shop. Nico can't stay in the shared apartment anymore, but Lisa gives him some ideas where he might possibly stay. Lisa arrives at home to find Nico and Emma eating dinner. Nico listens while Tarek takes care of various scheduling matters at the café.

Nico arrives at Inge's, where he will stay for a few days. They take a look around and Max asks Nico and Inge if they could do some shopping for him. Nico and Inge go to the bakery together. Here we see what happened to Nico's bag, but get no answers yet as to where it ended up. We see how Lisa and Selma unknowingly walked right by Nico's lost bag after it got left on the street. Nico has been wearing clothes borrowed from his new friends ever since he lost his bag. Selma and Nico discover that although Nico's phone and passport are still in his bag, two pieces of clothing are gone. When Nico comes home, Inge offers him some of her late husband's clothing.

Selma comes to the apartment to see if Nico accidentally took her wallet after their shopping trip. While Nico frantically gets dressed, she talks to Inga about her family. Lisa's father asks Nico and Yara's friends a series of questions. Nico doesn't have soccer shoes, but is able to borrow some. Nico asks Tarek how often he and his friends get to play soccer together. Lisa arrives at the hospital to see how Nico is doing – but it's not so easy to find him. Nico arrives back at Inga's on crutches, but luckily with no broken bones. They talk about homesickness, but Nico seems quite happy in Germany.

Yara is surprised to see her nephew Nico at her shop, since she didn't realize he was in Germany. Nico, Tarek, and Yara decide to go have a meal at Tarek's restaurant and tell each other what happened. Over a meal at Tarek's restaurant, Nico and Yara talk about home and homesickness. Nico explains that he wants to change some things in his life. Despite his parents' disapproval, Nico has decided to stay in Germany. Nico needs to open a German bank account, but he's a bit nervous. Nico runs into Selma, who wants to withdraw some cash before she goes to her language class. While Nico waits for her, Selma has some trouble with the ATM.

As it turns out, Nico and Selma have very different relationships with their respective families. Selma and Nico have their German lesson with Lisa, who has lots of creative ideas. They use Sebastian's photos to practice describing people, but when Lisa asks Nico to describe his own family, it's clear he'd rather not discuss them. Apparently, Nico's parents are quite worried. Pepe needs a bit more time to convince Nico to come back to Spain with him, so he checks into a hotel for the night. Nico moves into Sebastian, Nina, and Lisa's shared apartment. As part of Lisa's German lesson, Nico and Selma discuss their interests. Nico learns that Selma has never learned how to ride a bike, so he offers to teach her. While Nico and Yara eat dinner, Max and Tarek discuss their experiences with various hobbies and activities. Then Nico's brother shows up again...Nico and his brother Pepe talk about Nico's direction in life – and why he wants distance from his family.

Review :

After watching this film I got many benefits, especially in listening and reading skills. In this series, we can learn a lot of vocabulary and grammar points. Besides that, I learned about German culture and we also have to help people who are in trouble.
