November 2021: Kabul-Luftbrücke charters an aircraft. It's set on proving something to the public but, moreover, to the German government - air evacuations to Islamabad CAN work. Other modes of evacuation, however, keep on going. Most preferred method? Minibus. Five unaccompanied minors must be evacuated ASAP.

February 2022: The goal - a federal admission program for Afghanistan. An initial meeting is scheduled between civil society representatives and the foreign and interior ministries. Russia's attack on Ukraine smashes those plans and the event is postponed. All the while, the situation in Afghanistan grows more dire. The new rulers are searching houses and burning documents. The Kabul-Luftbrücke tries to maintain the pressure for an admissions program.

Wrangling continues over the federal admissions program. In the midst of this back and forth arrives the news: Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock will travel to Islamabad. Will she find time to visit one of the Kabul-Luftbrücke guesthouses? In Kabul, the man who has been helping to evacuate people for months decides to leave his homeland. Even he struggles to get an exit visa.
