Content

Nicos former girlfriend, Leila, has run away from home and went to the Jihad to Syria. How could this happen? No classmate had noticed any particular change in her behaviour.
When Nico makes some investigations, he meets Ahmed in a mosque, a teenager with whom he used to play football. Ahmed and his friends are nice and he likes to spend time with them. Nico falls deeper and deeper into the net of radical Islamists and at the same time he is targeted by the state security. Ahmed and he decide also to travel to Syria, but Nico’s mother stops him by hiding his passport. So Ahmed travels alone. He stays in contact with Nico and sends enthusiastic e-mails from Rakka. But the situation is changing and soon it is no longer clear to Ahmed whether the enemy is coming from outside or is within ISIS.
