Just before Anne is moving from Amsterdam to live with her great love Sara in Montreal, her publisher criticizes the manuscript for her first novel. What exactly is the story she's trying to tell? Does she even have something to say at all? Anne is forced to search for what she wants in life, because it is not only the main character in her novel who seems to be a little lost.

During the endless waiting in the Amsterdam AZC, gay Iranian Milad (30) tries to make the best of it together with his friends Arman (34) and Radfan (27). To get the residents in the AZC more in touch with each other, they decide to organize a poetry night. At the same time, gay Jurre (24) starts an internship at COA. He would like to do something good for Milad out of a sense of guilt about his privileges. When he hears about the poetry evening Milad and his friends want to organize, he decides to get involved, but soon finds out that his good intentions backfire.
