Ragga fiancés Sam and Abeer are separated by the Syrian Civil War. While Sam seeks refuge in Lebanon, Abeer's family forces her to marry a richer man and move with him to Brussels. In the desperate pursuit of money and the needed paperwork to travel to Europe to rescue her, Sam accepts to have his back tattooed as a Schengen Visa by one of the most controversial contemporary artists in the West. His own body is turned into a living work of art and promptly exhibited in a museum. Sam will soon realize he has sold away more than just his skin.

Run time is 104 minutes. In Arab, Swedish, French and English
