SYNOPSIS
Akam lives a comfortable and carefree life in a shared flat with friends in Oslo. When his uncle from Iranian Kurdistan comes on an unannounced visit, Akam has to practice Kurdish hospitality and invites his uncle to stay for a couple of days. As days turn into weeks, the shared flat becomes a bit too tiny. It is soon revealed that Akam’s uncle has smuggled himself into Norway and has intentions of staying for good. Akam must now balance his relationship with his uncle and the Norwegian authorities. Gradually, we learn more about why his uncle left his home country in the first place.
