When their landlord, Karem, decides to expand his car repair shop, they face the risk of eviction. A series of events leads to Rambo biting Karem, making the need to find a safe place to hide the dog suddenly urgent. The journey they embark on reconnects Hassan with people from his past and forces him to confront the choices he has made in life.
