This film shows how, every morning, Maamun Al-Wadi opens the door to his shop. The shop is a tiny white container. Beside it is another identical container, followed by another and yet another. Thousands of containers, exactly alike, stretch as far as the eye can see, defining the horizon of one of the largest refugee camps in the world: Zaatari, in Jordan. His shop repairs mobile phones. Maamum begins to serve his customers. The data on their memory chips contains their past in Syria.
