Family, work, and financial pressures come to boiling point as Nour, a young truck driver, faces unexpected obstacles while delivering an urgent and unusual shipment to Qatar.
Nour is a Pakistani heavyweight truck driver in his thirties who lives in Qatar, miles away from his wife and daughter in Lahore. He drives his truck along long, lonely roads, transporting shipments across borders. On a hot summer night, he picks up an unusually large object wrapped in fabric. Exploiting Nour’s financial struggles, his boss demands a nonstop overnight delivery. At the same time, conflict arises back home, urgently requiring his presence. As dawn breaks, Nour’s delivery comes to a sudden halt, forcing him to change course.
