Citizens' money is intended to help around 5.5 million people in Germany finance their own living expenses. Recipients are often confronted with many prejudices.
Pascal from “Hartz und cordial” made the leap from citizen’s money into the world of work. But shortly later he was fired.. Pascal (22) once did - but after just four weeks in the new job, the well-known “hard and warm” face was fired after his employer discovered him on social media. Pascal has recently been a topic of conversation with his ambitions to get started as an influencer on TikTok. But not long before there was a termination that brought the recipient of the citizen's benefit a lot of ridicule, especially online. The RTLZWEI documentary team always returns to a social hotspot in Mannheim, the so-called Benz barracks. Pascal, his sister Selina and their mother Petra also live in the former workers' settlement.
