Hey, Ich bin Jude! Jung. Jüdisch. Deutsch.

"We're no aliens!" they say and want to be seen as normal young people. In a documentary, which follows the film "Das Unwort", young Jews tell what moves them. What does it mean to be the only Jew at the school? To have to deal with clichés or stereotypes? A film about everyday life between sports field and synagogue, Torah and Instagram, Shabbat and party.

In German schoolyards "Du Jude!" is a common swearword. Anti-Semitic sayings, tasteless jokes and annoying prejudices are part of everyday life for young Jews in Germany. For them it is a sad matter of course that they cannot wear their kippah or Star of David necklace openly everywhere - for fear of vulgarity and assault.

On the other hand, they want to get out of the victim role. Ilan (20) says: "For many we are a marginal group that is simply always humiliated. But it's wrong that we are reduced to that. And Paula (12) adds: "Yes, that's what I wish, that you don't get funny looks all the time."

The film shows that there is a lively young Jewish life in Germany. As different as the Jewish young people are - religiously, atheistically, musically, athletically or technically interested: they all have one thing in common: they don't want to be perceived only as a "museum piece" (Roman, 19), but as active young people who live in the here and now.

The documentary dispenses with commentary and consists exclusively of empathetic conversations with Jewish young people between the ages of 12 and 25, which the filmmaker Jan Tenhaven conducted in Berlin, Frankfurt am Main, Osnabrück, Essen, Munich and Weßling. These conversations are supplemented by sober protocols of anti-Semitic incidents, read by Iris Berben.
