Synopsis
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 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. Simultaneously, conflict arises back home, urgently requiring his presence. As dawn breaks, Nour’s delivery comes to a sudden halt, forcing him to change course.
