After the civil war, Abdullah and Selam have come to Turkey from Syria. After a while, they decide to escape to Germany and make a deal with a human smuggler. Selam has collected the required amount of money by working regularly in a textile workshop. On the other hand, Abdullah is a drug addict, and has neither a regular job nor enough money to put in. These two young Syrians will fight for the money they have saved so far to manage their escape.
