Synopsis:
15-year-olds Doe and Muna are going on a trip. Two girls from a dead-end seaside town, they board the train to the airport excitedly. Quiet, watchful Doe hasn’t gone anywhere since arriving in the UK the age of 3 as a refugee at from Somalia. Badass Muna, of Pakistani heritage, is the dominant force... These girls are not going on holiday, but to Istanbul, to be met by a chaperone who will take them to the Syrian border to start a new life. Disaster strikes in Istanbul when their chaperone doesn’t show. Out of their depth, they formulate a new plan to continue their journey alone. Experiencing different slices of life in the city, their resolve, faith and friendship are tested.
