Synopsis
Nour is a Pakistani heavyweight truck driver in his thirties living in Qatar, miles away from his wife and daughter in Lahore. He drives his truck through long, lonely roads, transporting shipments across borders. On a hot summer night, he picks up an unusually large object wrapped in fabric. Leveraging Nour’s financial struggles, his boss demands a nonstop overnight delivery. At the same time, conflict arises back home, and his presence is urgently needed. As dawn breaks, Nour’s delivery comes to a sudden halt, and he is forced to change course.
