Up north in Turku, Finland, 19-year-old Iliyas, the film's protagonist, feels afraid he is losing his mind. His Moroccan friend performed a knife attack in the centre of Turku, Finland, killing two women and severely injuring several bystanders. Just before the attack, he had asked Iliyas to join him and to do it with him. The film follows Iliyas and his friend Mohamed closely. It explores the feelings and psyche of one generation of young Moroccan men, the ones we find making the headlines after such desperate attacks occur. The feeling of being a lost generation, unwanted by all, binds them together. Iliyas is alone with violent thoughts and fears that he will turn into a monster, like his assailant friend.
