A haunting and morally ambiguous search for a place to call home.
Chatila and Reda, two Palestinian cousins, have a dream: to open a café in Germany. They’ve already made it as far as Greece, but without papers, without prospects, and without money. Giving up is not an option, though. Undeterred, they stick to their goal, even if it means having to make increasingly questionable decisions.
