The seas are filled with migrants risking their lives on perilous crossings; Europe is engulfed by xenophobia and fear. In the cities and towns in the schools and shops strange children are starting to appear: enigmatic and unnerving they disappear like ghosts causing uproar. Amid mounting paranoia Khaled a young teenager from a war - torn Middle Eastern country by chance meets Karolina in a discount store in Brussels. She buys him a red suitcase and they part ways: Karolina to both mourn and search for her missing son whose laptop betrays his entanglement with extremist groups; Khaled to head south against the flow of other refugees - travelling with urgent intent desperately protecting the contents of his suitcase.
