Hakim, a young Syrian nurseryman, sees his life turned upside down when civil war breaks out. Forced to flee, he travels across the Middle East, driven by a single idea: to keep moving forward.In Turkey, he meets Najmeh, a fellow exile. Their love gives birth to Hadi, and with him, the hope of a happier life. Resourceful as ever, Hakim becomes a pastry chef, a tour guide or a taxi driver. But the life of a refugee is precarious, and xenophobia is ever-present. When Najmeh manages to reach France thanks to a visa, it marks yet another trial for Hakim.Determined to reach Europe clandestinely, Hakim sells everything he owns and makes the fateful decision to cross the Mediterranean with his son.
