German businessman Carsten Neuer travels to Norway to finish the impossible translation of some Norwegian poems by Tarjei Vesaas into Chinese, a project of his late wife. He hires Niko, a down-on-his-luck tour guide, to drive him to the poet's home and places of inspiration to stimulate his own translation. On the road, the ghost of Carsten's wife appears to him, while Niko struggles with the sudden consequences of his girlfriend's pregnancy. On this journey, two very different men come to realize the transforming power of love, the limits of language, and the human need for friendship.

A young man from Colombia brings a group of Latin American workers into a forced labor scam in Poland, choosing to be complicit in an exploitative system that has entrapped him as well. When a tragic workplace accident occurs, he is forced to confront the harsh truths behind the deceptions he has accepted since his arrival.
