The show focuses both on what separates and unites these two cultures, with etymological comparisons of words from both languages, presentations of common objects from both countries and portraits of famous people from France and Germany.

The end of each episode features a guessing game where a 30-second film is shown. Viewers must guess whether the scene was filmed in France or in Germany based on the presence of a key detail that is found in only one of the two countries.
