Sam, a 40-year-old people smuggler, finds himself in a moment of weakness when he rescues 12-year-old Amal, whose family has disappeared in the Syrian war. She believes that her parents are on their way to Sweden and wants to look for them, but first travels to Romania, where her sisters are staying in a shelter for refugees. Sam does not want to leave Amal behind alone and is therefore drawn into her venture.

"The setting of our story is a tragic no man's land between Europe and Asia, between life and death." A breathtaking drama involving two people who, through a fateful chain of events, meet in an in-between world that is invisible to us.
