Two Syrian refugees from two different generations. Hassan, a 55-year-old heading for England in pursuit of a new life. The incident gathered him with the second character, (Rakan) 30 years old, a young Syrian activist in the Syrian revolution . During the night they spend in a Warehouse in the port of Calais - France. The relationship between the two shows Rhakan's reservation towards Hassan, who seems absurd and speaks a lot while Rakan briefly answers Hassan's questions. Hassan appears to be sick and have a fever. In a dramatic moment and as the fever mounts over Hassan, Rakan announces that he knows Hassan and his true identity.
