Amir, an immigrant who has been living in Ukraine for a long time, works as a translator. He is trying to save his relationship with his little daughter after a complicated divorce. Living through the identity crisis, he is lost in a whirl of one-night stands and parties. Anticipating war, his ex-wife is taking their daughter to Europe. Amir is forced to a speedy decision: should he stay, go back to his motherland, or become an immigrant all over again.
