The stakes couldn't be higher for displaced Palestinian refugees Chatila and Reda in this knife-edge drama. The cousins are saving to pay for fake passports to get out of Athens, but when Reda loses their hard-earned cash to his drug addiction, Chatila hatches an extreme plan to pose as smugglers in an attempt to escape their desperate situation before it's too late. Cha b’ urrain dha cùisean a bhith na bu mhiosa dha fògarraich Phalestein Chatila agus Reda san dràma gonach seo. Tha na co-oghaichean a’ sàbhaladh airson pàipearan breige airson faighinn a-mach à Athens, ach tha Reda a’ call an cuid airgid ri linn a mhionn air drugaichean. Tha Chatila den bheachd gum biodh iad mar shìor ri cùltaireachd malairt airson am faighinn a-mach às an suidheachadh chunnartach mus tèid am marbhadh.
