Their unusual living situation is starting to affect their otherwise happy marriage, but the couple does what they can to make it work.

One day Mustafa gets a call that every parent dreads, his son has been in an accident. He rushes to the checkpoint where he must agonisingly wait in line only to find out there is a problem with his fingerprints and is denied entry.
