Trois réfugiés iraniens s'apprêtent à franchir la frontière autrichienne, mais la situation prend une mauvaise tournure.

Close to the Austrian border, three friends from Tehran are dropped off by their smuggler. They must spend the night in the Slovakian forest, until the next truck picks them up. Despite the difficult journey, the prospect of a new future keeps them moving forward. During the night, the group faces a dilemma that leads them to a point of no return.
