Europe, near future. Radovan (42) tries to evade armed forces and illegally enter Europe with Aya (6). They are on their way to find Aya’s mother, Boushra. Without proper papers, almost no money, and not knowning a single foreign word, they are in constant fear of being exposed by the brutal and xenophobic authorities.
As we go 6 years back in time, we see Radovan living a lonely and harsh life in a remote mountain village in Serbia. One night, during a storm, he finds a foreign refugee woman in labour. He helps her deliver and takes care of her. As a result, he falls in love with her and dreams of their future together. The baby girl is sick and it seems that she will not survive. One morning, Radovan finds out that the woman left, leaving the girl behind.
In the final chapter, Radovan and Aya finally reach Sweden and find Boushra. But she is a woman with a new family now. And as she starts to speak, Radovan finds out the truth behind Boushra’s departure and learns that reaching love and happiness was much more complex than he ever thought.
At this point, he has to make an important decision – a decision that can mean a whole world for the girl.
