A man and a woman in Lagos want to escape their everyday lives, but extricating themselves is no easy task. Two stories narrated with tenderness and restraint that only fleetingly touch, the dream of migrating to Europe floating above them all the while.
An estranged son purchases a child who can drink and smoke to impress his father.
A young boy comes to understand why his enigmatic father loiters in laundromats listening to coin change machines that sound like casino slot machines.
Alfonso, a middle-aged Filipino immigrant, struggles to balance his family life back home with the new life he has made for himself in America.
Distant from the rest of the world, a reclusive gravedigger becomes intrigued by the arrival of a mysterious boy claiming to be the son of his past and only lover. While trying to force conversation, the two awkwardly become acquainted with each other through the bond of a woman. Meanwhile, in a few brief conversations with his estranged co-worker, the recluse discovers not only more about his relation to the people around him but himself.
