Why do people end up on the streets? How do homeless women in particular cope? What are they afraid of? Judith Rakers dares to try herself. For 30 hours she lives as a homeless person in the middle of Hamburg. In doing so, she gets close to the fates of homeless people and finds out what they really need. The programme will be broadcast for the first time as part of the charity campaign "Hand in Hand für Norddeutschland" (Hand in Hand for Northern Germany) for the benefit of the North German food banks.
