Daniel (Max Riemelt) and Ronnie (Hanno Koffler) have been friends since childhood. Now they go together with the native Afghan Emal (Omar El-Saeidi) as time soldiers to the Hindukush. Its mission: to support reconstruction in northern Afghanistan, create stability through humanitarian aid and help democratic structures to establish themselves. But the reality is different. The young soldiers are only gradually becoming aware of what it means to go to a war-torn region. They have to quickly find their way around in a completely new world and make the right decisions. Aid for reconstruction on the ground threatens to fail due to the influence of the Taliban. More and more the question arises as to the purpose of their use. In the extreme situation of war, Daniel and Ronnie’s friendship is on the brink of disruption.
