For Danish brothers David and Christopher Mikkelsen, it all began in 2005 when they met Mansour, a young Afghan refugee who had become separated from his family while fleeing the Taliban regime.

Mansour escaped from Afghanistan via Pakistan in 2000 at the age of 12. His family was supposed to follow but never made it, and he ended up alone in Copenhagen.

Hearing of Mansour's situation, the Mikkelsens decided to take up the challenge of reuniting Mansour with his family. But the brothers soon realized the quest was not going to be simple.
