Maciek lives in the Polish village close to Belarus. It is winter 2021 and the crisis at the border is intensifying. The whole area becomes a military zone. The district is patrolled by the border guard searching for “illegals” and pushing them back to Belarus. One day Maciek’s mother is letting an exhausted Syrian refugee into their house.
