Settling in proves difficult, especially after he starts at a new school in Nørrebro, where most of the children are bilingual and use slang he does not know.

Help comes from an unexpected source: Sawsan, a Turkish girl in his class who has long dreamed of competing in the MGP final, despite her family’s opposition.
