Stranded in a bleak, overcrowded neighbourhood in Athens, cousins Chatila and Reda are endlessly plotting their escape. Coming from a Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon, the best friends, raised more like brothers, search for a life that offers more than displacement. To save money for fake passports, the men carry out petty scams, their intention to get to Germany where Chatila aspires to open a café and Reda dreams of protecting it. But when Reda dumps their savings on his opiate addiction, Chatila is forced to escalate, concocting a high-risk heist that will have them posing as smugglers.
