People are fleeing the oppression of the totalitarian regime across the heavily guarded borders to the Zlín State, however, many of them will not survive the journey to paradise. Twenty-year-old Miro wants to try to escape with his own friend of Juraj, but he fights not only with his own fear, but also with his conscience. Emigration would mean leaving a beloved mom who, due to low extra social credit get into trouble with the mode. Miro thus faces the most difficult choice in life: to stay or leave? The hopeless situation drives him to a desperate solution.
