After moving to Podlasie, psychologist Julia (Maja Ostaszewska) becomes an involuntary witness and participant in the dramatic events on the Polish-Belarusian border. Aware of the risks and legal consequences, she joins a group of activists helping refugees who are stranded in the forests of the emergency zone. At the same time, a Syrian family fleeing from the civil war and their teacher from Afghanistan, not knowing that they are a tool of political deception by the Belarusian authorities, try to get to the borders of the European Union. In Poland, fate brings them together with Julia and a young border guard Jan (Tomasz Włosok). The events unfolding around them will force them all to ask themselves anew the question - what is humanity?
