Three young new-Berliners dream of the good life in the form of art studies, a rap career or simply a work permit. Batoul, Firas and Jallow first get to know each other in an emergency shelter on the outskirts of Berlin. All three find a family's sense of warmth in a theater group. Here, they reveal their deepest emotions in video letters to their families and friends back in their war-torn or poverty-stricken home countries. "Susanne Dzeik has succeeded in making an impressive and sensitive film with CLOUD MAKING MACHINE.The film takes you along, touches emotionally, enrages, and gives hope, because it describes three young people who had to experience the unimaginable and don't crumble because of it."
