Synopsis

On a cold snowy winter day, Musa's parents arrive to persuade him to take him back to his home country. However Musa does not want to go, as he does not want to do military service, which is compulsory.

After Dingil Huseyin's asylum application was rejected, he stayed on as an illegal immigrant. Once he was deported to France, but found his way back to the UK. On his friend's advice he attempts a fake marriage but is cheated and loses the little money he has.

Musa and Huseyin decide to go to Canada for a fresh start. Musa, Huseyin and their friend, Haco - a compulsive storyteller - meet in an old building in a London suburb on a hot summer day. Mehmet, who arranged fake passports for them, rehearses them in answering the basic questions they will be asked at control points.

Early in the morning, Musa, Huseyin and Haco leave the UK for their journey towards a new future.

In a Japanese coastal town still haunted by the 2011 tsunami, a taxi becomes a moving confession booth. Over the course of one night, a series of conversations between drivers and their passengers reveal how those who survived live with the dead - as ghostly tales, dreams and everyday life merge in a magical drift between reality and imagination.
