Noor, a spirited young Palestinian woman from Nablus, studies in the city of Bethlehem, far from her family. After a concerning phone call, she sets out on a perilous journey back to Nablus, navigating the dangers of the occupation’s checkpoints. With every unexpected delay, her fear that she might lose her last chance to see her loved ones mounts. What begins as an ordinary trip becomes a race against time, in a reality that leaves no room for choice.
