As soon as the first big covid wave started, thousands and thousands of Asian wage slaves were sent home from the Emirates to work mainly on construction sites. Among them is the main character of this film, 27-year-old Danilo Asunción (actor Paolo Gumabao, 23). At home, he discovers that his father is seriously ill and needs funds for treatment and hospital stay. The viewer learns everything else from the film.

Vše ostatní se divák dozví z filmu.

Paolo to zvládl, vystihl dobře postavu Danny-ho, který touží se postarat o otce a donuceného okolnostmi dělat věci, které se mu příčí. Nečekal jsem, že by mě nízkorozpočtový snímek až tolik zaujal ...
