Palestinian Syrian teenager Nasser and his older brother Yassin, who have been living in a Greek refugee camp, await a decision on their asylum application. In the meanwhile, they pass the time by recording comedy sketches and fantasizing of making zombie films and moving to Sweden.
Nasser, however, feels increasingly trapped in this no-man’s-land. With nowhere to escape, boiling tensions in the camp push Nasser to another world.
