Amid the uncertainty of a rapidly escalating military conflict, on what might be a family’s last day in their home in Khartoum, 19-year-old Najma’s primary concern is finding Ziyad. In the absence of internet or electricity, Najma tries to find a working clock, hoping that both she and Ziyad will be at their daily meeting spot when they always meet. Her father works out the logistics of their departure, and Najma defies all risk to see Ziyad. Playing with light/time of day in the last scene, the film leaves the viewer unsure whether Najma actually sees Ziyad or imagines him there, ultimately expressing the impossibility of saying goodbye.
