Iman is forced to flee Iran with his family in the aftermath of a devastating rumor. As refugees, they end up in a run-down hotel in northern Sweden. Despite feeling powerless, Iman tries to maintain his role as the family patriarch but he breaks a promise to his wife and joins the local wrestling club. He turned back to the sport in hopes of speeding up his asylum application by trying out for the Swedish national wrestling team. This, however, leads to the revelation that the real reason he left Iran was that one of his former teammates outed him to the community as a closeted gay man.
