Albert Einstein said that "The gift of fantasy has meant more to me than knowledge," and this statement connects the lives of four very different people who all willingly or not live outside society.

The young Kurd Achmed lives with his family in a reception center for asylum seekers, collecting soccer trophies and doing his best to learn Dutch. Alan is a drifter who spends his days on a park bench, reading, smoking and philosophizing: "To me, reading a book is like talking to a living person." Marie is a young woman who has given her life to God, and she serves him in the convent day and night: "You do strange things when you're in love."
