I 1992 flygter den 12-årige Vladimir med sin mor og storebror fra krigen i Jugoslavien. Han ender sammen med tusind andre flygtninge på skibet Flotel Europa i Københavns Havn. Her skal de tre dele en lille kahyt på ubestemt tid.

You might be the kind of person who stands up to online trolls. Or who marches to protest injustice. Perhaps you are #DisabledAndCute and dancing around your living room, alive and proud. Or perhaps you are the trans mentor that you wish you had when you were younger. Maybe you call out false allies or stand up to loved ones. Maybe you speak your truth and drop the mic, or maybe you take it with you when you leave. This anthology features fictional stories—in poems, prose, and art—that reflect a slice of the varied and limitless ways that listeners like you resist every day.

بهاء الدين طفل كان يعيش قبل بضعة عقود، في بلاد فيها سهول واسعة، حيث أراد النبي موسى عليه السلام أن يقود شعبه، وعلى سطح بحارها سار المسيح عليه السلام، ومن قمم جبالها العالية صعد الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم إلى السماء . كان الصغير يدعو باستمرار أصدقاءه لتناول الطعام واللعب في بيته، كان يعرف أنهم لم يكونوا أغنياء مثله، وكان والديه وأصدقاءه يحبونه حباً جماً. في كل مرة يثبت بهاء الدين أنه قادر على مساعدة الناس والوقوف إلى جانبهم ومراعاة مشاعرهم والتوفيق بين أبناء بلدته المتخاصمين، حتى استطاع أخيرا أن ينشر السلام في بلدته، ليعيش الجميع بسلام وهناء.
