In a Kurdish refugee camp in 2003, residents await the U.S. invasion of Iraq, hoping for Saddam's defeat but fearing a violent aftermath. Satellite organizes children into work gangs, disarming and selling land mines to arms dealers. Satellite falls for Agrin, who comes to the camp with one-armed brother Hengov and baby brother Riga . As the invasion starts, Satellite looks for a satellite dish so the camp can watch the war.
