Overview
In Tussenland kruisen de paden van twee 'ontheemden': de illegaal in Nederland verblijvende jonge Soedanees Majok en de bejaarde, in zichzelf gekeerde oud-militair Jakob. Ondanks de onderlinge verschillen herkennen zij zichzelf in elkaar. Beiden dragen hun verleden als een last met zich mee. Jakob lijdt onder het verlies van zijn vrouw en is nooit in het reine gekomen met zijn oorlogservaringen in Nederlands Indië. Majok draagt de last van de 'vergeten oorlog' in zijn vaderland en de heimwee naar zijn geboortedorp dat hij is ontvlucht. Uit hun ontmoeting putten ze de kracht om afscheid te nemen van hun verleden, zodat hun onverwachte vriendschap weer zicht geeft op een toekomst.
