Synopsis

James has fled to Denmark. Leaving behind a dark past of trauma and violence in Turkey, he hopes to start anew and build a better life. However, he struggles in vain to establish a life as a «foreign worker» in 1970s Denmark. Unable to speak the language and lacking education, he ends up on the outskirts of society. He’s slowly drawn into a criminal underworld, where you either get trampled on or become the one doing the trampling.
