At the center of the plot are 150,000 refugees from African countries who initially gathered in the largest refugee camp in the world in the southern Sahara . You set out on foot to a Europe that appears to be isolated, initially covering 15 km a day. The borders of the transit countries initially prove to be relatively easy to overcome. Ultimately, no one outside of Germany can (and does not want to) prevent the many refugees destined for Germany, who are joined by other people east of the Suez Canal , from reaching the vicinity of the Austrian-German border. The attempt of the refugees to reach Germany as a mass of people across this border ends in a catastrophe.
