In March 2016, over 10,000 people were trapped in a camp outside the small Greek border village of Idomeni. The border had been closed to all people fleeing. Nadia and Nawaf had one objective, to get to Germany, to where their eldest son already arrived. They stayed with their six other children in several different camps in Greece. Yasir’s wife was an ISIS-prisoner. And many in Yasir’s family had been brutally killed by ISIS when they attacked the Yazidis in Iraq. Idomeni is a place suspended in time, and the film is shaped by scenes from the parallel lives of adults and children in the camp. The children do not go to school, but live in their own world and take care of each other, having little contact with their surrounding. The film catches their bubble and shows: they are tomorrow’s Europe.

One year later Yasir has started a new life in Germany with his son, but someone is missing. Khalida, Yasir’s wife, is still in the hands of ISIS. But in May 2017 suddenly and unexpectedly something happens. A possibility to buy Khalida free from ISIS has materialized. She is taken from Syria to Iraq to her mother and other relatives. Yasir can only observe in his mobile what happens in Iraq from the distance of Germany. When he talks to Khalida on the phone something in Yasir’s gaze and whole appearance changes. They joke and flirt with each other through the mobile. She tells him some of what she has lived through the last three years. Now another long wait starts, to get Khalida to Germany.
