Malik feels like a stranger in Sweden after his family fled there from Iraq. In Sweden he is bullied and often gets into fights at school. When Saddam Hussein is hanged, the family decides to move back to Iraq, which excites Malik as he can now finally feel at home somewhere. Soon after arriving, however, Malik begins to feel the same strangeness that he did in Sweden. It begs the question: What is home and what does it really mean to belong somewhere?
Jeanne, en ung fransk kvinde, bor sammen med sin danske kæreste Werner i en besat bygning på Amager. En nat efter en fest hører hun et uforklartligt signal på deres politiradio. Hun vågner desorienteret på taget af bygningen og fortæller Werner, at hun har brændt sig på en lysende stjerneportal og følt en fremmedartet tilstedeværelse i et ukendt mørke. Han nikker først forstående, men efterhånden som hun radikaliseres i sin tro på at have kontakt til det ydre rum, bliver det svært for det unge par at holde sammen.
Den unge fisker Verner burde ikke længere tage på havet, for hjertet kan ikke holde til arbejdet, men det er dér, han hører til. Samtidig prøver landsbydrengen Jeppe desperat at få Verners opmærksomhed, for Jeppe drømmer om at blive fisker. Sammen tager de ud på deres sidste og første færd på havet.
