Mohamed El Aboudi’s documentary follows three aging immigrants in Finland – Justine, Sisto, and Ben Allal – as they reflect deeply on identity, death, belonging, and loneliness.

Justine, a retired pharmacist originally from Uganda, considers burial traditions and longs to be laid to rest in her homeland. Sisto, from Sudan, misses his family deeply and strives to balance his life built in Finland with his yearning for his loved ones. Ben Allal, from Morocco, lives with his beloved wife and works tirelessly on his art, which is richly infused with memories and cultural heritage.
