    More than just a story about being trapped in a foreign civil war, this film dramatizes a remarkable true incident from the Somali Civil War.

This act of grudging generosity leads to an uneasy partnership, as the two groups from a divided peninsula must now collaborate to escape to a third location—the Italian embassy.
