Autumn in the Finnish capital, the city of Helsinki. Somewhere among these streets, incredible stories take place, one of which appears before the viewer's eyes. Khaled is an Iraqi immigrant. He decided to run from his country, where there are constant wars and conflicts, to Finland, where good, calm people live. He has not yet acquired housing, he is doing everything possible for this. One day he meets Wikström, a restaurateur who loves poker very much. A man opens a new establishment in the city. Together with his friends, he thinks about how to get the restaurant back on its feet. Wikström cannot abandon Kaled on the street, so he offers a job, and friends will also be happy to take care of the displaced person. Kaled himself must find his sister, who is definitely in danger somewhere. Reuniting the family and promoting a small business - this is what the heroes of the story will do.
