在阿富汗战场上，德国军官杰斯珀和战友奉命驻守在前线的一个小村庄，防止塔利班组织的渗透。他们与年轻的阿富汗翻译塔里克一起，想要赢得当地村民与民兵组织的信任。但双方的差别太大了。塔里克与他的妹妹娜拉的生命安全受到了塔利班的威胁。杰斯珀面临困难的抉择：遵守命令放弃这对姐弟，还是违背命令帮助他们？
Jesper is a soldier in the German army. Although his brother was killed whilst serving in Afghanistan, he nevertheless reports for a new tour of duty in this war zone. He and his unit are to protect a remote village from the Taliban. One of the people accompanying Jesper is a young interpreter, Tarik, whose job includes mediating between soldiers and villagers. Both sides have a hard time trying to overcome the differences in their respective ways of life. Jesper must gain the trust of both villagers and the allied Arbaki militia and his nerves are soon on edge. He finds himself increasingly morally conflicted as a result of his superiors' orders. His association with the Germans means Tarik's life is constantly under threat, but when Tarik begins to fear for his sister's safety, Jesper has to make a decision. Feo Aladag uses this portrait of an ISAF soldier in Afghanistan to explore questions of affinity and otherness, trust and failure. How humane can your actions be if you are bound by the workings of a strict military bureaucracy? What remains of the ideals of human dignity when you are caught up in a daily struggle for survival?
