A 14-year-old Ethiopian refugee in a Swiss mountain hospice falls in love with Kabir, a 26-year-old African refugee, while awaiting asylum. Their secret romance ends when he vanishes.

Together with other refugees, she is given shelter for the winter in a Swiss catholic hospice at an altitude of over 2000 meters. While they wait for their fate to be decided by the Swiss authorities, Fortuna meets Kabir, a 26-year-old African refugee, and falls desperately in love. Their relationship develops in secret, till the day Kabir disappears.
