Samir, a young student from Hamburg, lives with his best friend in a shared apartment and is in a happy relationship. Everything seems normal—until one day he receives a notice to leave the country voluntarily. The news hits Samir like a hard blow, and overnight his dreams seem to vanish. When he finally tells his friends, however, it becomes clear that they will not let him go so easily.
