Spoilers ahead
Malek, a 26-year-old man with sleep disorders, is consumed by memories of his ex-girlfriend Zeina. Stuck in a traffic jam, he catches a fleeting glimpse of the woman he loves and desperately tries to reach her by tapping messages on his phone, but she no longer wants to see him as she vanishes into the throng of midday Beirut traffic.
He suffers from a sleep disorder that interrupts his breathing during sleep; when he stops moving, he dozes off, adding to his disorientation.
His mother Claudia has not accepted his father’s disappearance for 15 years. She stays at home in the hope that he will return, while Malek drives around the city alone.
