Synopsis
The residents of the Frisian village of Oosterlittens have jointly bought a house in their village to receive a Syrian family that fled from Aleppo. The family cannot settle and leaves for the City after a year. However, when the two eldest sons, Ahmad (19) and Mohammed (18), decide to stay, a new situation arises. With the help of villagers Jan and Janneke, the two boys from a city of millions learn to stand on their own two feet step by step in the new culture of a small Frisian rural community. Like them is a film about independence, the complexity of helping and being helped, about mercy and sense of reality, and the power of a community. World history is taking place at village level.
