简介:In February 2013, Halim, who was born in Aleppo, Syria, planned to escape the civil war and go to Germany, where his sister lived, and invite his family after receiving refugee status. While in transit in South Korea, he was caught holding a fake passport and was refused entry. He was later sent to Turkey, where he was again denied entry and eventually returned to South Korea. After living in a deportation room at a South Korean airport, he was sent to a foreign asylum when one day he heard about his son's death and became furious, unable to cope with the sad news. Lawyers on his case continued to challenge his detention, and South Korea's Ministry of Justice eventually canceled his emergency protection order without notifying him. Halim accidentally steps into the unfamiliar land of South Korea and finds himself working illegally on a construction site, where he meets Riyadh, an unregistered Arab resident. They comfort each other in pain and develop a father-son relationship. Halim saved up money to bring his family to South Korea, where he spent all his hard-earned money to pay off his father's debts in Riyadh. With the help of Yusuf, a Christian Arab, Halim found a job in a garbage dump and found a place to live. But Riyadh was involved in a serious accident and was declared brain dead after being chased by immigration officials. Church elders and pastors conspired to use Riyadh's organs for transplants of leading church elders. They tried to persuade Halim to give in, telling him that the church could bring his wife and daughter to South Korea from a Turkish refugee camp with their missionary group. Halim falls into religious conflicts and moral dilemmas, causing other Arabs around him to misunderstand him. A story about a man caught in the crossfire of cultures, religions, races and nations.
