Two-part documentary on au-pair girls

School's out - forever. But what's next? Having passed their A-level exams, Laura Engelke and Anja Birkel are ready to conquer the world - as au-pair girls. Best friends go separate ways for the first time: Laura is on her way to a host family near Washington D.C., and Anja prefers rural Norway. We follow both girls on their adventures far away from home, from their families and friends.
