Story
First love, wild parties, insecurity, emotional chaos and strokes of fate: In the new episodes of “We are now” (“Wir sind jetzt”) there is a reunion with 17-year-old Laura (Lisa-Marie Koroll) and her clique. But this time the focus is on Hannes (Helge Lodder), who increasingly feels that he is not who he wants to be. On Tinder, Hannes switches back and forth between boys and girls. In an inattentive moment, he clicks on Ariel’s (Noah Tinwa) picture and it’s a match! They spend an evening together and Ariel spends the night at Hannes’ place. On a shopping tour with Daniel (Gustav Schmidt), Hannes secretly buys a dress that he hides deep in his closet. Will Ariel still love him as a woman? Only Kim (Adel Onodi) has the right advice for him. Being trans herself, she finds the right words and encourages Hannes. On the one-year anniversary of Oli’s death, all friends come together at the lake, talking about Oli, remembering their friendship, crying and also laughing. Out of nothing a message appears on the wall at the school: “Oli is not forgotten! And neither are your actions, Laura!”. The uncertainty of who is behind the graffiti troubles the clique and burdens Laura more than she is willing to admit…
