17-year-old Wasiullah is a teenager like the rest of them. He hangs out with his friends, cracks jokes, takes selfies and flirts with girls. Denmark has become his home after spending three years in asylum centres after arriving alone from Afghanistan. But when Wasiullah turns 18 and his asylum application is rejected, he is suddenly forced to leave the country.
