Saeed and Nadia are refugees from an unnamed country and an unnamed conflict; they, and millions of others, find their escape when a series of portal doors to other countries begin springing up out of nowhere, leading them on a journey through countries as they search for home.  A quiet meditation on the nature of borders, community, and the pressures a relationship endures under such circumstances.
