Akam, a young literature teacher living a quiet life in Oslo, is caught off guard when his estranged uncle from Iranian Kurdistan arrives unannounced. Though his shared apartment is already crowded, Akam feels compelled to offer him a place to stay. Days pass, and the visit stretches on, unsettling both Akam and his flatmates. As tensions rise, Akam begins to question his uncle’s true reasons for coming. What starts as an awkward family obligation soon unfolds into a chain of revelations, forcing both men to confront choices that could alter the course of their lives.

ಒಸ್ಲೋದಲ್ಲಿ ಶಾಂತ ಜೀವನ ನಡೆಸುತ್ತಿರುವ ಯುವ ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯ ಶಿಕ್ಷಕ ಅಕಮ್, ಇರಾನಿಯನ್ ಕುರ್ದಿಸ್ತಾನದಿಂದ ಅಚಾನಕವಾಗಿ ಬರುವ ತನ್ನಿಂದ ದೂರವಿದ್ದ ಚಿಕ್ಕಪ್ಪನ ಆಗಮನದಿಂದ ಅಚ್ಚರಿಗೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಈಗಾಗಲೇ ಜನಸಂದಣಿ ಇರುವ ತನ್ನ ಹಂಚಿಕೆಯ ಅಪಾರ್ಟ್‌ಮೆಂಟ್‌ನಲ್ಲೇ ಅವನಿಗೆ ತಂಗಲು ಅವಕಾಶ ನೀಡಬೇಕೆಂದು ಅಕಮ್ ಮನಸ್ಸಿಲ್ಲದಿದ್ದರೂ ಒಪ್ಪಿಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಾನೆ. ದಿನಗಳು ಸಾಗಿದಂತೆ, ಈ ಭೇಟಿ ದೀರ್ಘವಾಗುತ್ತಾ ಹೋಗಿ, ಅಕಮ್‌ಗೂ ಅವನ ಫ್ಲ್ಯಾಟ್‌ಮೇಟ್‌ಗಳಿಗೂ ಅಸಹಜತೆಯನ್ನು ಉಂಟುಮಾಡುತ್ತದೆ. ಒತ್ತಡಗಳು ಹೆಚ್ಚಾಗುತ್ತಿದ್ದಂತೆ, ಚಿಕ್ಕಪ್ಪನ ಆಗಮನದ ನಿಜವಾದ ಉದ್ದೇಶಗಳ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಅಕಮ್ ಅನುಮಾನಪಡುವುದು ಆರಂಭವಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಮೊದಲಿಗೆ ಅಸೌಕರ್ಯಕರ ಕುಟುಂಬ ಕರ್ತವ್ಯವಾಗಿ ಕಾಣಿಸಿದ ಈ ಭೇಟಿ, ನಿಧಾನವಾಗಿ ಅನೇಕ ಸತ್ಯಗಳ ಅನಾವರಣಕ್ಕೆ ಕಾರಣವಾಗಿ, ಇಬ್ಬರನ್ನೂ ತಮ್ಮ ಬದುಕಿನ ದಿಕ್ಕನ್ನೇ ಬದಲಿಸಬಹುದಾದ ಆಯ್ಕೆಗಳನ್ನು ಎದುರಿಸುವಂತೆ ಮಾಡುತ್ತದೆ.
