简介:An industrial slaughterhouse somewhere in Germany. Jakob works as a security guard, the Bosnian labourer Boris in the slaughterhouse. In the midst of the violence and the cold, a silent bond develops between them and an unspoken longing for freedom. When Jakob helps to retrieve Boris's confiscated passport, they find themselves caught up in a maelstrom of power and powerlessness that forces them to make far-reaching decisions.
