In the small Lithuanian town, a prison transforms into a migration center amidst a significant crisis. Housing men from the Middle East, South Asia, and Africa, it becomes a modern-day Tower of Babel. Residents find solace in communal activities like cooking and praying, connecting to their roots.

Over time, as walls are repainted and relationships form between migrants and staff, the center changes. A year later, it empties suddenly, leaving behind a silence and a reminder of the impermanence of life.
