The documentary shows the turbulent everyday life of Hamburg’s most famous youth hostel at the “Stintfang”. 50 employees keep the hostel running 362 days a year. On Mondays and Fridays most of the guests are changing: more than 100 people are checking in and out. Despite the high capacity the hostel warden Sven Seidler needs to come up with new ideas every once in a while, because of the strong competition in a major city like Hamburg.
