Synopsis

One night, Radi, who leads a reclusive life in his own van, a VW microbus, hears a shrilling scream in the distance. Despite his fears of others, he challenges himself by switching on the house lights. With the seemingly trivial switching on of a light, he finds himself on a road trip that alters his clockwork and very private lifestyle.Starting with the sheltering of the screaming woman, Laila, a recently divorced Palestinian/Syrian traveling back to Damascus, the adventure continues and eventually introduces two others into Radis mobile home; The Lebanese artist, Sami, escapes Lebanon during the Lebanese war of 2006, and is found struggling on the side of a road, after his car broke down. The second character is a mysterious Jordanian policeman, who asks many questions along the way. All characters encompass variant degrees of experience, pain, fear and a hopeful outlook on change. Within this journey, they come to realize they share much more than they thought is possible. While on the road, challenging events provoke the characters in various ways, where the thin line between reality and illusion fades away.
