black lives matter shiny spotlight, racially motivated to leave the same sex marriage as being legalized in more and more countries, discrimination, inequality or part of everyday life. for many we ask why? because life and diversity make up your own mind. w. need for mines. ah, they are raring to go. but instead of freedom and adventure, they're mostly confronted with their own. for was our young people coping with the pandemic? we follow high school student comp, medical student liter rica, and hotel trainee alaina. how is the lockdown affecting them?

a suck once a week before dish dish. and also just i'm sick and tired of sitting here staring at my laptop and let to stand please. what worries them? this is an antique stress on studying is more mentally drained and stuff and what's their future outlook? i'm going to get on it and not knowing what will happen to the hotel industry is really difficult. for me. it's early morning in goals. know and off a german village close to the polish border for high school student carl. it's just another day in lockdown. my name's call him on 917 years old was entered 10 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 the serial typical curio sceptical role. because if you're asked if adding an article about changing color, who i mean i need 45 minutes to really wake up in the morning. normally i've had that by the time i get to school, when i get up at 630, travel to school chat with a few people. so by that time i'd already be quite allergic of. and now i get up to eat breakfast and get dressed. then i sit down in front of the computer and start lessons right away that make 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

screen, carl and his younger brother, france, take a break. during the day, it's just the 2 of them. carl is in charge of making lunch. when listening to that, these are 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 just more the coolest. it really was there's going to work for the corona virus. i'd 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 out of one phone call. but that didn't work out because of coverage. i hopped mark, everything was already arranged tickets. we had our slides booked, 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 here by calgary. and that was the actual what i was flying into and get under treva davis. i think the record would have done me good tongue, densely. these are the skis i got for it. were time. carl worked hard to save up for the equipment. now it's just sitting around in his room closet had smoke in front. of course, i would have liked to use them more,

some ends up calmed carl's parents are doing their best to help them cope with the frustration they worry about the effect the lockdown is having. these are, these are known pieces me shows, can this attention not being able to get out to 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 he doesn't finish. yes. very good. someone said to use the inverted. 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 that noise. 192021. you were the best age and we're not experiencing as long as it's been snatched away from us. she has already changed me.

usually i'd be out and about one to rally a time. didn't have one. no. 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 in boca 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 up, for the pandemic, we were on the go non stop a lot, you to do your contact with people. i get some of them now. it's become very monotonous and we serve breakfast in that sense of the off 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, i miss most is the contact with the guys that good morning. you room number 14444. got. com. enjoy your breakfast or and for food. delighted cook. i love making people happy simply by bringing me a little drinks to their table. that i could think of putting because you can laugh and talk with people. come and now it's all, don't get to close the rules. we're not keeping the required distance. and since everyone's been up tight when it comes to having contact with one another contact, but for me, the hospitality industry is facing its biggest crisis since world war to turn over 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 trainees ship ends? it's under that afraid of what my future holds in country. what can i do now? we will actually employ me, and that's what really scares me. tell me, got me in life sick. it's make our break for medical student fleet 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 her studies. did you pass? yeah, yes. 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 natalie split us my scanner with the guns and of course it would have been lovely to meet up with everyone else in my exam group pushed together. we'll meet out in the evening and then 2nd and then i'll be at home. this is alice, me having a quite evening finished. so how's the doing nothing. i'm going to push miss breeder. he spends most of her time studying alone in her one room apartment and lied sick to landside money when i'm studying. i basically do everything at my desk . the time for me, i say i sit 8 hours a day, they said push them. the student is in her 4th semester, her mother also studied in live sick lives the night. it was always something of a dream. 50 for me, a lot of culture to take in more more everything on the hold on him.

she quickly found her pudding at university forming friendships and making plans to hang out and come even got home and came along and put an end to everything just as soon as it had begun. they're going out together and heading to a club board and everything i was starting to enjoy disappeared and had got a look of fang phone. it's a real shame in the system. the shadow in many of the perks that come along with studying at a university are no longer there. cool, and i'm excellent. and i was a result of coverage. he noticed that you're not connected to the entire group anymore. you have to actively contact people or me to keep the connection going and he didn't quite the course you fall out of touch with some people. please. last summer leader we rescued a dog named friar from an animal shelter from issues. and it

was great, as i had said, during this intensive period of studying. so i was never really a now and i didn't get that lonely feeling at night when you get into an empty bed 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 me. brian 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 the classroom for carl, that means history lesson in person. out there. all the things, you know mother will do nothing that i would have to do with my, my friends again to see something besides my laptop at home. it's much more direct direct. it's definitely nice to be back. so if, if i shouldn't be off today, then yeah, all right, let's open up the windows again for the last part of the lesson. i think you're good 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 need to talk with you an f. yes. what's the angle of intersection? the one between the 2 difference. correct? 63.4 minus 45. yes. so that's it, that's, that's with 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 on this on the fact that the final exam should be the same difficulty as in past years. i'm listing it's just a completely different situations of it. 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 our high school diploma was much easier to get that. but if you a said that still means you were working hard, i

kara loves playing soccer, but he hasn't trained with a team for almost a year now. you can get a really nice man painting to and i'm out of the board. i'm a club so much what i'd like to get back to it was because exercising at home a lot going on a run just isn't the same for me and it's a pleasure for me. and i missed it, but you know, team sports aren't allowed right now. but 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 just had

a my plan was to work on a cruise ship for 6 months after finishing the chinese ship. if i passed the harbor selling albert, i thought the idea was to get experience, meet new people and try out something you'd also be in. but i think i can forget all that, i guess i said, i don't know if i want to continue on in this industry when it's not, if it's like the singapore. but there's no point of i can just say, i want to do this job because i like having contact with the get putting on a survey line one know mentioned by and said i missed the banter with the kitchen. get asked to start with the keys. there's no one even in the kitchen. i know kusha . oh man. oh, alina feels forgotten by power titian's. i don't think my voice is really being heard. rog and i thought it's just one little voice among many

political notations of doing what i can to get how old line specs for calling this one large claims for com. prioritizing of the right one. i have a feeling we chinese aside now. i think you could kind of 900 and then it is making it more difficult for young people to stop the korean to study by the battle foundation times. trainees are feeling insecure. one and 5 fear they won't complete their training ships. oh, light and human lloyd young people especially struggling with the panoramic ones. why the about the anxious about the teachers and feel they want to make up my time when to canon. and if, what do you mean when you study conducted at universities? in $25.00 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 piece of their life. from being able to plan for the future and discover the world, many are frustrated. we feed the psychological burden, increases with each additional day and locked down in the medical student rica moved to live sick. 2 years ago. she thought her life would look a lot different. it's been english. let me start. i shared an apartment with 2 other people, then they each moved out. then i wondered if i should look for new flatmates or find a place to live alone, or that i decided to get my own apartments and so on. and she just took 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, i've seen the inside of a lecture hall, 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 whatnot. 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 life. her parents are musicians and she's played an instrument

since she was a child. as i play that the owner in the light cic university orchestra. i guess the feeling of being part of something bigger and that's what i really like it. but it's not solely about me. but at the same time it wouldn't be the same without me. and 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 critics class again. in august, i'm getting the news at the end of vacation,

really shocked and upset me about 40 also. i'm sick and tired of sitting here staring at my laptop and let to sit on group place yet we'll just have to try our best to make progress like this and fill the gaps afterward. so she isn't at the 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. what was going on? i don't always understand everything fully. office you. many of my friends say they might repeat the 11th grade or any studies after the 11th grade here with that type of diploma. so it's not up in them for hobby has not changed 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 rules, i don't know what's allowed and what's not done done this is carl is increasingly frustrated. i am to be 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 and belong. meanwhile, there's a sense of excitement among lena, inter fellow trainees. they've invited their bosses and instructors to dine at the hotel. everyone's taking a cobit 19 test and especially for the occasion. i think we need at least 12 tables because emitted unless it's a vehicle that 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. but i will called on which we aren't able to do with vocational

school at the moment, coming into school, i definitely for calling. the hotel kitchen is close to the public during lockdown . so shell training marcus is also limited to making beds and breakfast. but today he can get hands on experience again. he's preparing a 3 course menu, a fish soup, b fillet, and a bavarian dessert. it's definitely a welcome change. i don't want to see any more beds unless it's my own or someone. i miss it. i'm a great to cook again. i've really missed the female alaina enter calling t arc are taking care of the table decorations. it's so nice to get back into the old daily routine oil i off. we're noticing we're under some time pressure. we've cost it's a big close. it's been

a long time since we've done this. but i'm really enjoying it again. you know, me only bit nervous. we wanted everything to be perfect. me a 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 this is a villa j l from 2018. actually, do i have to say where it was made? you can say 2018 village jail. people like me have exam soon, but we haven't had in person. listen the funny i think i've had to how will i manage 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 meeting professionals standards,

so you're in the corner from chocolate i live in. let's see. it's been a year since elena and her colleagues have actually served the 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 managing for one evening, at least it says if the panoramic doesn't exist in leipzig, freedom starts a new semester. the same way. she and the last one alone at home. i'm the guy would like to get back to normal rather than sitting at my desk all day. that's me. and then i'd

rather begin connect a chat and taking part in learn cutting a normal daily life meeting people like that. and that gives you a sense of stability and the feeling that unit is in session semester. because all of her lectures are online and available any time politically can, has to force herself to structure her day that was militia, thought it might be that you have to keep pulling yourself together, how much you have to be tough with yourself. that system that you can't just sit passively through a course and let everything will show you left me, but then you have to stay focused for this. and so of course it's an added stress on the sean sucking is more mentally draining them before them. she does what she can to break her monotonous routine masters maxima sometime in the evening. i put on some makeup and pick out clothes that i

might wear on the nights and making put them on to see if they saw me specially, you know, the kinds of things you do before going out. but without going out of a form and ask it on us again. right now going out means taking the dog for a walk, but in a stroke of luck, that's precommit some new acquaintances, a few weeks back. come on, they wouldn't give us here. i can meet people with a conscience and i look forward to having some company 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 yes, we've become good friends during the pandemic, the anglo clinic,

and it's really brought us closer together. by the end, no matter how hopeless the situation might feel. alina is determined to keep going in these up, i would really like to stay in this industry. this job is a lot of fun on it, because i still have some home people want to die. now if

they want to experience something, again, we don't live. i think eventually we'll get back to how things work along the schools. this has been 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 ah child with that. and i hope everything ease is as soon as possible is because there's a lot of hope in the vaccine. and being able to move more freely with a clear conscience fungus. and i'm hoping we will get our freedom back prya will look become oh i use in
