8:31 am
. what worries them as a dresser? this studying is more mentally draining and what their future outlook was in get done. not knowing what will happen to the hotel industry is really difficult for me. it's early morning and goals know and off a german village close to the polish border for high school student carl. it's just another day in lockdown because my name called him on time is 17 years old. was and attend high school in britson. but for more than 3 months now, the lessons have been conducted remotely. the 11th graders day starts in his bedroom with 90 minutes of english
8:32 am
the serial typical curio technical role. because you're asked if i didn't get an article about changing. it's called fossil man, i need 45 minutes to really wake up in the morning or how normally i've had that by the time i get to school and i get up at 630 travel to school chat with a few people. so by that time i'd already be quite allergic. all that now i get up and eat breakfast and i'll get dressed. and then i sit down in front of the computer and start lessons right away. that makes it really difficult to listen to the teacher to fully concentrate and participate in a clause that's more than 18 minutes long. after 4 hours in front of their computer screens, carl and his younger brother, france take a break. during the day it's just the 2 of them
8:33 am
carl is in charge of making lunch when it's a name, so that he's a just the extra tasks that have to be done at the moment. and luckily i can cook, i kind of, i mean, not everything, but some things are much of a more the and what it really was there's going to work for the corona virus. i be playing soccer in my club point. i'd be meeting with friends and going to the cinema or, and i was actually supposed to spend a year abroad in canada of confront on but that didn't work out because of coverage . i hopped my. everything was already arranged ticket. we had our slides booked,
8:34 am
suitcases packed, and then 2 days before of departure, the whole thing was suspended and then they kept telling us for 6 weeks and that it might somehow be possible, but in the end it wasn't. oh, it would have been the by calgary, we give you that was the airport. i was flying into good under the standard. i think the record would have done me good time to actually please of the skis. i go for the car. i worked hard to save up for the equipment. now it's just sitting around in his room. if lousy had smoke in front cause i would have liked to use the more ends of calmed karl's parents are doing their best to help them cope with the frustration. they worry about the
8:35 am
effect, the lockdown is happening here. these are understanding the pieces miss hold this attention not being able to get out. just not being able to develop is taking a toll on the mentally. and i'm extremely worried that they won't make their grade, or that the initial yes, there was someone said to use the invert. i hate on that. when alina is 19, she's training to become a hotel manager. it's her dream job. we're not for the pandemic. we have that noise, said 192021. you were the best age and we're not experiencing it when it's been snatched away from us. read these. she has already changed me. usually i'd be out in the back of a rally a time. didn't have one. no,
8:36 am
i can't do that in the it's 6 am. and alina is on her way to work. she's doing her trainee ship in a hotel and vocally near hamburg. she comes here 3 times a week. since the lockdown only business travelers are allowed for overnight stays a big change for atlanta. for the, for the pan demik we were on the girl non stop you to do contact with people. i get some kind of now it's become very monotonous. we say breakfast and that seemed the fast. instead of learning how to properly set a table or serve guests, she and her fellow trainees only manage a few business travelers. ma'am, i would,
8:37 am
i knew the most is the contact with the gay said i. good morning. you room number 4444. got it so much. enjoy your breakfast or and for food. you like to look. i love making people happy simply by bringing me a little drinks to their table. the think tank of puddings because you can laugh and talk with people and now it does get too close to real. we're not keeping the required distance. i live in since everyone's been up tied when it comes to having contact with one another contact. but for me, the hospitality industry is facing its biggest crisis since world war 2. turnover has plummeted in germany. revenue dropped 40 percent last year compared to 2019. the hotel in vocal is running a skeletal operation. so elaina does have some work. but what will happen when her
8:38 am
trainees ship ends? i'm afraid of what my future holds in crunch. what can i do now? we will actually employ me, michelle, and that's what really scares me. we cannot trust me. in life sick, it's make or break for medical student please rica. she has a very big exam today. one she's been preparing for for 2 years. she needs to pass in order to carry on with their studies. did you pass? yeah, yeah. well good. i feel great relief and i'm looking forward to having the rest of the day. i'll talk normally a reason for celebration, but nothing these days is normal. this naturally split us monday says gannon with the guns, and of course it would have been lovely to meet up with everyone else in my exam group. we have breakfast together. we'll meet out in the evening and then and then
8:39 am
i'll be at home that's. that's our listening, having a quiet evening finished. so how's the doing? nothing moving matthis, miss miss pleaded rica, spends most of her time studying alone in her one room apartment and lied sick. so lance i, when i'm in studying, i basically do everything at my desk and i say i sit 8 hours a day. i said so she had missed them. the student is in her 4th semester, her mother also studied in live sick like this friday night. it was always something of a dream city for me or the culture to take in more. more everything going on in. she quickly found her putting at university forming friendships and making plans to hang out and come even got over,
8:40 am
came along and put an end to everything just as soon as it had begun for the going out together and heading to a club board and everything i was starting to enjoy disappeared and had got a look fine for me. it's a real shame in food to set them shadow me. many of the perks that come along with studying at a university are no longer there in the corner and the night, well, as a result of coverage, you notice that you're not connected to the entire group anymore. you have to actively contact. people owe me tough to keep the connection going and he didn't quite of course you fall out of touch with some people feel it replaced last summer leader he rescued a dog named friar from an animal shelter from issues. and it was great that i had had during this intensive period of studying. so i was never really and then i didn't get that lonely feeling at night when you get into an
8:41 am
empty badge and don't have any body. of course, that dog isn't a person, a dog doesn't replace a partner and isn't intended to film with a joke. you're not alone. one is in the bryan also forces rica to leave the apartment. those walks help because structure her day and pull her away from her desk. ah ah meanwhile, in the northeastern state of brandenburg, some students are permitted to return to school. one week before the easter holiday junior high school students and 11th graders are allowed back in
8:42 am
the classroom. for carl, that means history lesson in person. out there yesterday or mother will not be able to help with my friends again to see something besides my laptop at home. it's much more during a few days. it's definitely nice to be back. so if, if she wouldn't be off today then. yeah. all right, let's open up the windows again for the last part of the lesson. i think that afterwards, carl in his class have an open study session. that's that it gives students an opportunity to learn more independently. today their math teacher is there to answer questions. i was was come to an f. yes. what's the angle of intersection? the one between the 2 difference. incorrect. 63.4,
8:43 am
minus 45. yes. so that's it. that's, that was yes. that's it. what that all of karl's grades will count toward his high school diploma. he's not the only one worrying. when you asked this one the fact that the final exam or should be the same difficulty as in past years. it's just a completely different situations. we haven't had proper lessons for ages. our work is also being assessed differently. there are fewer grades. i mean we don't want to be disadvantaged and have people saying that high school diploma was much easier to get that. but if you said that still means you were working hard, me kara loves playing soccer, but he hasn't trained with a team for almost
8:44 am
a year now. get really nice man painting when i'm out of practice in fort i miss club so much. i'd like to get back to it because exercising at home a lot going on a run just isn't the same for me. and it was pleasure for me. and i miss it. but you know, teams both aren't allowed right now, but it's better. the alina has an early shift, again at the hotel. this time she's working alongside her colleague. yes, because more and more alina is plagued with doubts about her future. i responded to my plan was to work on a cruise ship for 6 months after finishing the chinese ship. if i pass the have a selling our to the idea was to get experience meet new people and try out
8:45 am
something using off of our school. but i think i can forget all that, i guess it i said, i don't know if i want to continue on in this industry over and it's not a fit like the thing of all new. but there's no point of i can leave i just so much . i wanted to do this job because i like having contact with the get on a survey line one know mentioned by and so i missed the banter with the kitchen stuff too. with the keys. there's no one even in the now i no, no, i'm in. oh, alina feels forgotten by politicians minus i don't keep my voice is really being heard. rog and i thought it's just one little voice among many to please the counselor notation to doing what they can to get. how long stack will
8:46 am
come this one large claims that become prioritizing of the right when i have the feeling we chinese or aside 9900 demick is making it more difficult for young people to start the korean to be study by the back of trainees are feeling insecure, one and 5 fear they won't complete their training. oh, light and human lloyd young people especially struggling with the panoramic, wanted by the anxious about the teachers and feel they want to make time when to and if you me, when you're study conducted at universities and 25 countries found more than half of students worry they won't be able to complete this academic year because of coven, for the young people are missing out on an important phase of their life, from being able to plan for their teacher and discover the world. many are
8:47 am
frustrated. we feed this psychological burden, increases with each additional day and locked down, and the medical students needed rica moved to live sick. 2 years ago she thought her life would look a lot different. it's been immersed. let me start. i shared an apartment with 2 other people and they each moved out. then i wondered if i should look for new flatmates or find a place and live alone, or that i decided to get my own apartment. and so wondering, and she just oh, her boyfriend, andrea and began his studies in bavaria last spring. his 1st semester started in lockdown. was that i have since i started studying,
8:48 am
i've seen the inside of electro home, maybe 2 or 3 times. that's of course not what i imagined, but i hope things will calm down and next year will be different. both from bach and say, not far from berlin. they've been together since high school. the pandemic has made their long distance relationship, especially challenging what's really difficult is that the rules keep changing. it's hard to know what's allowed and what's not. can i take the train to live fish or not? should we go or stay where we are, or seeing each other so rarely is an added stressor on ex i, he does, he has learned how to be alone with her dog and music, bring balance to her lives. her parents are musicians and she's played an instrument since she was a child, as they play the, the owner in the like, sick university orchestra on the i guess the feeling of being part of something bigger than what i really like if i'm not so only about me, at the same time,
8:49 am
it wouldn't be the same without me, but when i want to miss, i find it's a very special way of making music. and you can't replicate it and become unheard miss. now i, it's been more than a year since the university orchestra played together in brandenburg. carla's back in his room with his laptop in person classes were suspended once again for his grade. after the easter vacation is always the frustration is palpable. i think it's annoying. i was excited to be in class again in august. i'm getting the news at the end. the vacation really shocked and upset me about 140 ish and also i'm sick and tired of sitting here staring at my laptop and let to shed on brooklyn. yet we'll just have to try our
8:50 am
best to make progress like this and fill the gaps afterward. so she isn't at this moment when i'm worried about falling behind. when i'll be honest, i haven't finished a lot of things for my online lessons on the screen. i don't always understand everything fully. office seals, as many of my friends say they might repeat the 11th grade and their studies after the 11th grade year with that type of diploma. so it's not up in them written for hobby does not change for me. i feel stuck in almost every regard and because in the end i'm basically confined to my home and went off. and i thought when i can't keep up with the changing roles and i don't know what's allowed and what's not done done this is
8:51 am
carl is increasingly frustrated. you always get something out of the situation as a maybe i just can't see it online, but no, i think for me it's just being a big step backwards in every regard in belong. meanwhile, there's a sense of excitement among alaina and her fellow trainees. they've invited their bosses and instructors to dine at the hotel everyones taking a cobra 19 test, especially for the occasion. sizes of all we need at least 12 tables committed, nothing to do. that one doesn't want to hint of. because we want to learn a bit more in preparation for the exam, and we won't get into the swing of how things really work. i recalled on which we aren't able to do with vocational school at the moment called funding the school i desperately for calling the hotel kitchen is close to the public during lockdown. so chef training. marcos is also limited to making beds and breakfast,
8:52 am
but today he can get hands on experience again. he's preparing a 3 course menu of fish soup, be fillet and a bavarian desert. it's definitely a welcome change. i don't want to see any more beds unless it's my own also my i'm this great to cook again. i really miss that female alena enter colleague t arc are taking care of the table decorations. it's so nice to get back into the old daily routine oil it off. we're noticing we're under some time pressure. we've cause it to be close. it's been a long time since we've done this. but i'm really enjoying it again.
8:53 am
because if i'm only bit nervous, we wanted everything to be perfect. me . my community coming $532.00 and a half hours left the vocational school switch to online lessons months ago. the trainees must help each other out. and villa, this is a villa j. l. from 2018 asked, do i have to say where it was made? by the 2018 village? people like me have exam soon, but we haven't had in person lesson the sundays. i think i've had to how many exams from yes, you can learn a lot on your own, but i don't know whether i'm doing everything properly. if i'm making professional standards, so you're in the coma. i'm up front checking. i live in, let's see. it's been a year since elena and her colleagues have actually served
8:54 am
a meal or wine for that matter. the dog without a. this is a nice matting and it's on the semi dry side. may i call you a glass top from the lighting for one evening, at least it says, if the panoramic doesn't exist on business in leipzig, freedom starts a new semester. the same way. she and the last one alone at home i'm the guy would have liked to get back to normal rather than sitting at my desk all day just me and then i'd rather begin connect to chat and taking part in love with having a normal daily life meeting people like that, and that gives you
8:55 am
a sense of stability and the feeling that unit is in session semester. and then because all of our lectures are online and available any time credit leeker has to force herself to structure her day. that was militia among that says, you have to keep pulling yourself together with the server that you have to be tough with yourself. it's system that you conscious passively through a course and let everything will show you. let me believe then you have to stay focused on that. and so of course it's an added stress. sean, nothing is more mentally draining them before them after the stuff she does what she can to break her monotonous routine as much as much. sometimes in the evening i put on some makeup and pick out clothes the time i wear on the nights. and maybe put them on to see if they tell me professionally, you know, the kinds of things you do before going out. but without going out of a,
8:56 am
from an oscar or else again. right now going out means taking the dog for a walk. but in a stroke of luck, that's pre commit some new acquaintances, a few weeks back. you come here, i can meet people with a clear conscience and i look forward to having some company position. sure. and it's nice to go out knowing i'm going to see people in my life under conditions where i feel comfortable with the tears. it was great with you all today. i don't now a reminder of how things used to be we've become good friends during the pandemic, the anglo clinic, and it's really brought us closer together. mm
8:57 am
mm. oh and no matter how hopeless the situation might feel, alina is determined to keep going. i would really like to stay in this industry. this job is a lot of fun. it because i personally, i still have some people want to die now. they want to experience something again. i think eventually we'll get back to how things were ah, the schools. this is being
8:58 am
a setback for me. it depends what the government says. but basically i'm hoping for the best time things will start opening up again. but i can't control that system consciousness the with the solution. and i hope everything ease is as soon as possible is to go. there's a lot of hope in the vaccines and being able to move more freely with a clear conscience being can be done with best home. and i'm hoping we will get our freedom back. oh, i use in ah,
