Some 53,000 refugees are crammed into the Shamshatoo Afghan Refugee Camp in northwest Pakistan. Jamal (Jamal Udin Torabi) and his pal Enayat (Enayatullah) want to reduce that number by two. The teens' plan is to reach London, where Enayat has an uncle, by any means necessary: guile, smugglers, bribes. That border guard has a suspicious look?give him your Walkman...
...foot, bus, truck, ship?never knowing how long the trek will last or if they'll be shot, arrested or suffocated en route?and speed-learn the rudiments of new languages in the babel of countries they pass through.
