After being granted asylum in Germany, Munir, a renowned Arab author is not allowed to return home. Tired and embittered of his life in exile, he sets off in search of a place to kill himself. And when he rumbles into a remote Island deep in the North Sea, Valeska, the kindly older woman who takes him in, is quick to tell that he intends to commit suicide. Yet, as days roll by, he finds himself drawn out of his depression due to Valeska’s unexpected motherly care and the nature of the island which reawakens his desires and inspire him to give life a second chance.
