Here in Toronto, four young Somali refugees are finishing high school. What did they bring with them? What did they find in Canada? Their testimonies, about us and about themselves, interspersed with newsreel footage and sequences of a theatrical creation in which they put all their soul, make them immediately endearing and overturn many prejudices held against refugees. A film that makes you want to get to know them better.

When Karim is released from prison, members of his former gang are waiting for him outside the walls. But Karim is not interested in returning to a life of crime, and the only way out is the military. Together with his younger brother Amin, he has planned to run away and enlist as a conscript. There is just one problem: in Karim's absence, there was an empty seat in the gang's inner circle, and his closest ally is now playing a dangerous double game.
