Nelu (Andras Hathazi) lives on the Romanian side of the Romanian-Hungarian border. He leads an uncomplicated life as a supermarket security guard and lives with his sour faced wife. They share a modest but falling apart home. Their problem these days is repairing the old roof of the farmhouse.
Nelu’s life is so insignificant that fishing for him represents the only source of excitement. One morning, Nelu will "fish" something different out of the river: a Turkish man trying to cross the border. Not able to communicate verbally, the two men will somehow understand each other. Nelu takes the stranger to the farmhouse, gives him some dry clothes, food and shelter.
The two men, although their backgrounds and existences are so different, find a common ground that brings them together. Somehow the immigrant conveys that he’s heading to Germany to be with his son. While pondering what to do, the Turkish man sleeps in Nelu’s cellar, chop firewood, and helps repair his roof.
