The movie is about a day in the life of an Afghan Muslim in Athens, who is surrounded by memories of his homeland and his family loss. Ali lives lonely and monotonous in a basement apartment. He sleeps, eats sparingly and prays. His unique entertainment is the sport of kick boxing, for which he trains at the back of his house. To survive, he collects scrap metals from garbage that carries in a super market stroller, which he…drives on the streets of Athens. But Ali has not only the memories of his homeland, his family and his girlfriend who are invading. More intense emotion generated by the ceremony of the Ashura, who monitors without taking part, in Piraeus.
