Synopsis: Faruk Šego, a Bosnian writer living in Austria, is suddenly left without a residence permit due to stricter immigration rules and his own negligence. In order to not be deported, Faruk must prove to the authorities that he's made a cultural contribution to Austrian society. His last chance is an off-theater group that can stage a play he once wrote as a young man. The ensuing adventure brought on by Faruk's reluctant return to the theater could transform his life and force him to realise what is truly important.
