Stan is a refugee from a country with a dictatorial regime and has been stripped of his citizenship. He is looking for how to continue his life as a refugee in Europe, but since he no longer has citizenship, this turns out to be an impossible task. In a prison for refugees in Bulgaria, he became close to three people - Zvezdichka, Ahmed and Opshan and together they decided to found their own country at sea on an abandoned platform. Arriving at the platform, it turns out that Joanna already lives there, who has escaped from the material world that surrounds us, looking for a solution on how to continue her life.

Nadezhda Stoyanova is a renowned translator from Japanese and a university professor at the peak of her career and experience when she learns that she has a tumor. She finds out together with her daughter Evgenia, a host on the most-watched television channel. Both believe that the illness will be cured and that their lives will not change drastically - Evgenia continues her routine television work, while Nadezhda begins translating what is considered an untranslatable Japanese novel by Nobel laureate Yukio Kobayashi, titled Flesh. But they are both mistaken. Nothing will ever be the same again, because it is precisely the flesh—the inescapable human flesh—that has the final word.
