Aylin, a 26-year-old Turkish woman, arrives in Heidelberg with two suitcases, a master's, and the familiar ache of starting over.
After years of moving between countries, she's learnt the rhythm of packing, unpacking, and pretending to belong - but this time, she's determined to find something lasting.

Between the historic streets of a new city, the bureaucratic hurdles of student life, and the challenges of being an immigrant, Aylin navigates the blurred lines of identity, home, adulthood, and human connection - in her own way, and in her own language.

A story of displacement, friendship, and the quiet resilience it takes to build a life from the ground up.All Rights Reserved

But away from gilded halls and carefully curated reputations, she's just Evie: a chaotic engineer in a cramped apartment, finding solace in secondhand coffee mugs, and the soft, unexpected comfort of the people she's let into her real life. Especially him-her intense, guarded neighbor whose presence unnerves and steadies her in equal measure. But when old loyalties and hidden truths begin to surface, she's forced to confront a much harder question: Can she expose the truth and bring a system to its knees-without destroying the only people who still believe in her?
