A docutainment series about apprentices in the skilled trades

For six apprentices – including aspiring roofers, joiners, gardeners and landscapers, painters, plumbers and yacht technicians – the real world is about to begin. The young apprentices face real challenges: long days, physically demanding work and the pressure to prove themselves on the building site. Mistakes happen – and that is precisely what they are meant to learn from. They receive support from their master craftsmen and journeymen, who not only pass on their technical knowledge but also give clear instructions when it really matters.

Each episode brings together different stories: big goals, minor setbacks and those wonderful moments when everything suddenly falls into place. Step by step, the apprentices grow into their roles, and viewers get to see how uncertainty hopefully turns into genuine expertise.

‘Passt, wackelt und hat Luft’ shows everyday working life in the trades as it really is: entertaining, honest and close to the people – with all the dramas, big and small.
