Plot summary

Brother and Sister. Despite being homeless they aim for another life. Poverty is what stands between them and a chance for a brighter future. Their desperation leads them into a criminal industry of ”Import-Export”. It's a world of its own where your lineage and your education doesn’t determine your fate. Things take a radical turn when the merchandise they’re supposed to transport turns up in the form of two young girls. They are now forced to make a decision; do they become the people they used to fear? Or do they return to the streets? We follow the twins during two intense days where all our notions of self-evident moral are turned upside down. (the production company's synopsis)
