Carlos, Erffan and Amir meet after a longer separation to spend a day together over a river. In a sleepy atmosphere they are sipping beer and swimming in the river. In the meantime they reminisce about the old times, the inconveniences of an immigrant’s life, national identity and racism. In the evening they are visited by a drunk stranger who introduces himself as Jesus and joins in the conversation. Soon, it will turn out that the positive message he has brought will be understood contrary to his intentions.
