It is the summer of 2015. Fereshteh, a young Afghan woman, arrives in Belgrade with her husband and three children, after a gruelling months-long journey. She learns that her younger brother has drowned and will soon be buried as an unidentified person, a John Doe. As Hungary closes its borders to stop the influx of migrants from the Middle East, and as Fereshteh's husband and his family pressure her to continue their journey, she is doing all she can to give her brother a dignified burial.
