[1][2] Aryan Dashni from Homs, Syria, and his father are part of a group of refugees trying to cross the Hungarian border via boat.

Aryan is shot several times by police officer László, but instead of dying he mysteriously obtains the power to levitate.

When he falls back down to earth he is apprehended and brought to the hospital ward of the closest refugee camp.

He leaves the subway and floats to the roof of a nearby apartment building, being watched by a shocked woman.

When he returns to the place of the terrorist attack, he overhears a woman who prays for an "angel" who "flew to the sky".

Once inside the hotel's elevator, Gábor tries to escape but is knocked down by Laszlo, who continues on alone to Aryan's room.

Laszlo apprehends Aryan and brings him down to the hotel lobby, but Gabor manages to overpower a policeman and takes his gun, holding him hostage.

Gábor dies and László runs to the window to shoot Aryan, but he lowers his weapon after hesitating.
