When a Pakistani Santa's bike breaks down on Christmas day, he is forced to take a detour through the surreal Bahraini desert, racing against time to make his festive shift at the local hypermarket.
It's Christmas Day and Hamid is in trouble. His bike has broken down, and he's late for his shift, which is playing Santa Claus at the local hypermarket. Desperate to make it on time, he decides to take a detour through the desert. As he enters this liminal space of sun, sand and heat, a series of surreal obstacles appear in his path—a choir of snow angels, a fellow brown Santa, and a donkey cart that sounds eerily like a sleigh. Will he ultimately make it to the hypermarket on time? And more importantly, will he be able to receive the desert's message for him amid the chaos of Christmas Day?
