Aja has lived all his life in Mumbai. He performs on the streets, cheats tourists and is believed to have special magic powers. When his mother dies, he goes to Paris to find his father with only a fake 100 euro note in his pocket. His first goal is the Swedish furniture store IKEA, which he has dreamed of visiting since he was little, and there he meets Marie who he falls in love with. Aja experiences incredible adventures around the world, originally in a closet, then in a Louis Vuitton suitcase, a hot air balloon to Tripoli and in a refugee camp in Libya. On the way he meets the Sudanese refugee Assefa in a truck, and a lasting friendship is established. But, Aja does not give up hope of coming back to Paris and reuniting with his beloved Marie.
