The hero is an unnamed adolescent boy who finds himself in a foreign country in the middle of Europe, which looks to him like nothing but a system of fences, motorway flyovers, railway corridors and warehouses, distant and hostile. He moves through a cold winter world like a shadow on the edges of the landscape and of society, denied any real life. On the way, the smugglers split him from his older brother Aamir, the last person close to him, and he tries with all his strength to reach the city in the north they were bound for. The Europe he once hoped for appears as an endless cycle of production, of cars, meat, entertainment and fear, in which a person is reduced to a problem, to labour, to material.
