Sam is a young Syrian man, sensitive and impulsive, who left his country for Lebanon to escape the war. He’s desperate to travel to Europe to live with the love of his life, and so he accepts a bargain: he agrees to have his back tattooed with an elaborate piece by one of the world’s most tempestuous contemporary artists. But turning his body into a prestigious piece of art comes at a cost, and Sam soon comes to realise his decision might actually mean his freedom is more limited than he expects.
