In an unnamed city Saeed and Nadia find themselves in a classroom together. They fall in love, despite their differences. Saeed lives at home with his parents, which is common in their culture. Nadia, however, has chosen to live alone, which is not the norm. Her parents does not speak to her because of it.
The city is full of refugees, but still relatively calm. As time goes by, things gets worst. The city is getting closer and closer to war. Saeed’s mother is shot. It is unsafe for Nadia to live alone, therefore she moves in with Saeed and his father, despite her disliking of it, but it is not perfectly safe there either. The war breaks out fully and the government has no longer control of the city. Violence fights and death is now a part of everyday life for the citizens.
Whispers starts spreading in the town, whispers about doors. Doors that can lead to a different world, a new beginning. The doors are heavily guarded. Saeed and Nadia have to take a chance. They open a door through bribing a guard, and they walk into an uncertain future. Saeed’s father chose to not come, but before they left he made Nadia promise to never leave Saeed.
They get to Mykonos. The place is filled with refugees just like them. A young Greek girl is able to get Saeed and Nadia through another door, which leads to a nice home in London. Many migrants come to London and the relationship between the newcomers and London’s citizens are becoming worse by the minute. The refugees are forced into ghettos.
The city decides to build a better relationship with the refugees and put them to work. Nadia and Saeed are not so close anymore. The two of them walks through another door which takes them to California.
Here the two of them split up and live their own lives. The two of them meets up in their home country fifty years late.
