Through text messages, chats, phone conversations and an immigration office's questionnaire, we can reconstruct the journey of Shahin, a 20-year-old Iranian boy who tries to keep up an illlusion of succes, if not for himself then at least for the home front. But when will the long-hoped-for freedom finally manifest itself?
