Torn between Australia and Germany

Australia has always been a dream country for Nicole Bergmann. She followed her dream and moved to Melbourne with her husband in the late 1990s. But unfortunately, the reality was different to what she had imagined. That's why she returned to Germany after 17 years - with her cat but without her husband. But even in Germany, not everything is as she had hoped. In a very open interview, Nicole Bergmann talks about her initial difficulties after returning to her old homeland.
