In the tiny kitchen of a fast-food restaurant The Golden Dragon, we find a Chinese man who was sent to Western Europe by his family to look for his sister. He suffers from excruciating toothache, but a visit to the dentist is out of the question as he has no valid papers. At the same time, his sister, who also entered the country illegally, is taken in by an ant in the same building without him knowing it. The story of the siblings (so close and yet so far from each other) forms the bracket for several narratives about that contempt for human beings with which social minorities are met.
