- Who doesn't know them? Prejudices and clichés. All Germans eat sausages and drink beer all day long. In England, of course, everyone holds tea time and people love to queue up. Italians and the Mafia are more or less the same thing, and shouldn't the French actually get a cramp in their arm from constantly carrying a baguette? Nobody is immune to cultural misunderstandings--especially not our European neighbours. But is what we think and hear about them actually true? Of course not. Or at least not all of it. And that is precisely what "POINTS OF YOU" is all about. Here we take a closer look at some of these prejudices and clichés, turn them upside-down, and see what's really behind them. But how? Take plenty of students of various nationalities and put them in a student home in Berlin. Now spice this up with different languages and customs and observe their resulting chaotic daily lives. Our special add-on: Every character has its own individual perspective and cinematic style. And you can even hear their thoughts. Our pilot episode "Tuna and the Mafia" focuses on these four characters: BASTIAN (Germany): A somewhat neurotic computer science student with a soft spot for his pot plant Flora and a penchant for romance. ÉLODIE (France): A flirtatious environmental activist and the main reason for Bastian's romantic feelings. RYAN (England): Islander, drama graduate and self-proclaimed womanizer, hobby chef and party king. SOFIA (Italy...more specifically: Sicily): 1. Not in the Mafia. 2. Still not in the Mafia. And 3. A very unique physics student with a very unique connection to God.
- Ryan's Perspective: After his attempt at flirting is sabotaged by an elevator, Ryan finds himself in a kitchen drama with Élodie who refuses his proposed dinner on moral grounds. As Bastian is hitting it off with the Italian house-mate Sofia in her room there seems to be no hope for any male backup so Ryan has to stick it out on his own.
- Bastian's Perspective: What started off as a peaceful and quiet day, takes a turn for the worse when Bastian's Italian house-mate Sofia summons him to her room to repair her computer. Suddenly he finds himself in a menacing situation with the mafia who - it seems - can read his mind. Bastian goes to Ryan for help but his "friend" seems to busy chatting up the French Élodie.
- Sofia's Perspective: Sofia's computer is not doing what she wants it to do so she asks the German computer expert Bastian for help. After having to listen to every Italy related cliché she decides to teach him a lesson - with a little help from God.
