While Malik, a Moroccan who has entered the country illegally, hopes to find a better life in Europe, the conservative EU politician Mathilda represents a tough policy of guarded EU external borders. It becomes difficult for her when she is supposed to help her old friend Richard hide Malik. Mathilda's assistant, the lawyer Amina, who actually wants to leave her Moroccan roots behind, is supposed to help. But Malik finds himself in the crosshairs of the investigation after a bomb attack. The film interweaves the fates of the individuals and tells a story of uprootedness and loneliness in a globalised world. A strong political thriller with Barbara Sukowa (EUROPA Award winner 2013) and Lambert Wilson.
