Tangled Up in You tells the story of an unusual encounter. During a design workshop, women from diverse cultural and age groups get to know each other. Among them are Mahshid, a young Iranian woman who fled her home country with her son Radmehr. Marieme, who left Senegal to be able to feed her six children. Cheshmeh from Iran, who fights for women's rights and Mariam from Georgia, who seeks artistic freedom. While they wait for decisions on their asylum applications the women from the arrival centre design up-cycled outfits together with long-established Bamberg women like the once knitting-enthusiast 91-year-old Renate, whose hands don't work anymore, and Anette, who passes on boxes of knitted mementos from her family. Throughout the time the women teach each other to knit they tell each other stories. In this way, intimate friendships gradually develop in the open workshop alongside unusual individual pieces.
