Comrades Mano and Sharan (Little Brother) travel from northern Iraq after Sharan's brother is shot by Iraqi militia forces. The Kurdish boys dream of a new life in Norway, but the new start does not turn out quite as they had imagined.

It has been two years. Mano has finished serving his sentence and has had his application for asylum in Norway rejected. Little brother gets to stay, gets a dormitory in Oslo, and tries to adapt to his surroundings as best he can. Mano goes undercover and lives paperless, but how will he manage without money and papers?

Mano becomes involved in more serious crime together with Bjørnar. One day the police are at Lillebror's door and one of the policemen is Kurdish. Little brother thinks he can help Mano.
