Maysan and Iyad, a Syrian couple, work at a Breton fish auction and with their daughter seem to constitute a happy family. They have just been informed their residence permits have been approved. But then Iyad asks a question his wife wishes she hadn't heard. Great acting in this dissection of a marriage.

In the treacherous and swampy forests that make up the so called “green border” between Belarus and Poland, refugees from the Middle East and Africa trying to reach the European Union are trapped in a geopolitical crisis cynically engineered by Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko. In an attempt to provoke Europe, refugees are lured to the border by propaganda promising easy passage to the EU. Pawns in this hidden war, the lives of Julia, a newly minted activist who has given up her comfortable life, Jan, a young border guard, and a Syrian family intertwine.
