A rejected asylum seeker is in detention awaiting to be expelled. Plagued by guilt and in fear of the prevailing deportation practices, he hallucinates half asleep images of his own execution. On television, a broadcast account of a spring festival involving the public burning of an effigy representing winter.
Un rifugiato politico, la cui domanda di asilo è stata rifiutata, è detenuto in attesa di rimpatrio. Tormentato dai sensi di colpa e temendo le pratiche di rinvio in vigore, vede la propria esecuzione nel dormiveglia, mentre la televisione trasmette immagini di una festa popolare durante la quale bruciano un pupazzo rappresentante l'inverno.
