A young Syrian refugee named Khaled has lost almost all of his family. Almost by chance, he hides in a coal ship and ends up in Helsinki as a stowaway, seeking political asylum. Wikström is a traveling salesman who, after winning a large sum of money at the poker table, buys an unprofitable restaurant in a back street of Helsinki. After the local government decides to deport Khaled back to Aleppo, he decides to stay in the country illegally. Eventually, Wikström discovers Khaled sleeping in the courtyard of his restaurant and hires him as a cleaner and dishwasher. Life briefly shows us its brighter side, but fate soon intervenes.
