As he tries to build a new life in an unfamiliar environment and struggles with the trauma of loss, Francis encounters a network of diverse individuals who each live on society's peripheries. The film delves into themes of displacement, resilience, and the complexities of identity as it portrays Francis' gradual integration into a world that is both captivatingly exotic and disconcertingly familiar. Through this exploration of Berlin's underbelly, the story subtly weaves together universal human experiences of survival, adaptation, and the search for belonging against the backdrop of contemporary global migration.
