Filmmaker Azad Larki, who is undocumented, follows his mother during her final days in Sweden after his family has lived without legal status for two years. Facing deportation to Iran, they have survived in hiding, without rights or security. When his mother decides to flee alone to London - leaving her husband and son behind - the film captures a dangerous farewell where humor becomes a final survival strategy against fear, separation, and uncertainty.
