Tarik is just a regular guy, though he’s a bit lonely – he lives on his own and works in a local supermarket, where he cheerfully banters with his colleagues and argues with his boss. At night, he repeats nonsense phrases in a frustrating attempt to overcome a stutter. When he develops a shy crush on a woman who works nearby, Tarik employs a curiously romantic method to communicate with her anonymously – but in a society that considers showing emotion to be a sign of weakness, being discovered could isolate him even more.
