Dvanaestogodišnja Maha pripada posljednjoj generaciji palestinskih izbjeglica kampa Balata.
Kad se zdravlje njezina slabovidna djeda počne pogoršavati, odlučuje se na nevjerojatnu ideju:

Alles gut, Grčka, 25’

Pavlos putuje u mirno selo na sjeveru Grčke kako bi posjetio svoju baku. Dok ona priprema
njegova omiljena jela, on je snima svojom kamerom. Kako se oboje bore s usamljenošću,
otvaraju se jedno drugom kao nikada prije. U toplini bakinog zagrljaja, Pavlos napokon otkriva
što znači biti prihvaćen.
