Inspired by the real-life experiences of refugees and with a cast of mostly asylum seekers themselves, the film tells the moving story of a young person searching for his way between stagnation, trauma and creative self-liberation.

Palestinian-Syrian teenager Nasser and his older brother Yassin have been living in a Greek refugee camp for years, waiting for a decision on their asylum application.
They pass the time by recording comedy sketches, dreaming of zombie films and imagining a future in Sweden. But the longer the standstill continues, the more Nasser feels trapped in a hopeless dead end. The increasing tensions in the camp eventually drive him into another, seemingly surreal fantasy world.
