Der Film zeigt Momentaufnahmen aus dem Leben von Transitflüchtlingen, die sich in der Stadt Brest in Belarus aufhalten und in Polen Asyl suchen. Die Flüchtlinge bleiben dort von wenigen Tagen bis zu 6 Monaten. Einige von ihnen geben auf und bleiben in Belarus, weil sie kein Geld und keine Kraft mehr haben, um weitere Grenzübertrittsversuche zu unternehmen. Der Film begleitet Familien, die bereits nach Polen gezogen sind, und solche, die in Belarus geblieben sind.
