Each night, Karim makes a living by driving customers around the city. His life is repetitive and dull, and working nightshifts distances him from his family. At the end of one shift, just as dawn is beginning to break, he drives one last client, a foreign artist, and finds himself irresistibly attracted towards this stranger. What he feels will cause him to question everything he thought he knew about himself.
