Cynical stand-up comedian Hassan
and Afghan veteran Mourad travel to
war-torn Syria to search for their younger
brother Yasin, who got lost after
crossing the border from Azraq in Jordan
to Daraa in Syria. The two reluctant
brothers try to stay out of the

the brothers closer to each other and

them further apart?
