Qim, on his way from A to B, has a knee-trembler in a service station toilet with a young woman who steals his wallet. Pursuing her into unknown, and fairly inhospitable countryside, he is shot be persons unknown, following which he ends up being hunted and on the run for his life.
This is not exactly unknown territory for a movie, albeit the characters usually have something by way of back story and motivation.
On one level this movie is quite successful - the action is suspenseful and fairly well done, the hunted are always convincingly in jeopardy, the landscape is against them as much as their assailants, and the characters are all well played.
On the other hand, the high concept is perhaps a bit too high - a bit more exposition would have helped, and a little more explanation as to what had happened, and why, at the end.
