Drama

Every night while the city sleeps, Ahmad, a former Pakistani rock star turned immigrant, drags his heavy cart along the streets of New York. And every morning, he sells coffee and donuts to a city he cannot call his own. One day, however, the pattern of this harsh existence is broken by a glimmer of hope for a better life.

VIBE

A quiet, melancholic portrait of a man adrift in a vast city. It's a slow, deliberate journey through loneliness and the faint echoes of past dreams, punctuated by moments of unexpected human connection.
