Syrian refugee Khaled stows away on a freighter to Helsinki. Meanwhile, traveling salesman Wikström wins big at a poker table and buys himself a restaurant with the proceeds. When the authorities turn down his application for asylum, Khaled is forced underground and Wikström finds him sleeping in the yard behind his restaurant. He offers him a job and a roof over his head and, for a while, they form a Utopian union with the restaurants waitress, the chef, and his dog.
As Khaled, a young Syrian mechanic who has escaped Aleppos living nightmare, finds his way into Helsinki by accidentally stowing himself away on a coal freighter, on the other side of town, joyless traveling salesman Wikström experiences a profound mid-life crisis. Under those circumstances, Khaled and Wikström, who are desperately looking for a fresh start, eventually cross paths when the latter, after an endless night of high-stakes poker, buys himself a decrepit restaurant and offers Khaled not only shelter but also work. In the end, whether the Syrian refugee has a future in the Finnish capital is unknown, but what is undisputed is that he will find an eccentric but affectionate new family.
