First time feature filmmaker Omar Shargawi explores the experiences of Arabs in western countries by focusing on the cultural and religious beliefs that they carry with them when moving into a society that doesn't necessarily share the same value system. Jamil is a young Arab living in Denmark. Alienated from his wife and child after moving into a Copenhagen community populated largely by Arab immigrants, the power of Jamil's weakening family bonds are put to the ultimate test as he sets out to settle some lingering debts.
