In a basement in Istanbul a group of illegal Afghan teenage boys are determined to smuggle themselves into Europe – a utopia far away. Caught in the no-man's land between childhood and adulthood they fearlessly play a dangerous game of destiny over and over again. But at what cost? In an underground basement, Mo and Ali live with 30 other boys. As the place is crammed, they spend their hours awake outside, moving around the streets and parks of Zeytinburnu, always on the go, to avoid being caught by the police. Left with only themselves to look after one another, their incredible strength and yet extreme vulnerability surface side by side in the no-man's land between childhood and adulthood.
