The Vietnamese Bien and Thien have illegally come to Berlin, hiding at their older relatives Nga and Nam. They are willing to live in total submissiveness for work and apparent safety. Fierce fights about territories between the cigarette dealers and the erratic outbursts of Nga unsettle both their lives. Secretly they try to build up their own livelihood – but that inevitably leads to an escalation.
