Synopsis

Captured by the US military in Afghanistan, Mohammed (Vincent Gallo) is transported to a secret detention centre in Europe. When the vehicle he is riding in crashes, he finds himself suddenly free and on the run in a snow-blanketed forest, a world away from the desert home he knew.

Relentlessly pursued by an army that does not officially exist, Mohammed must confront the necessity to kill in order to survive.
