Fahad Nassir works in a call centre during the day and as a courier at night. When he is fired from the call centre one day, he finds himself in a precarious situation, as he relies on the income to pay for his aging father's medical treatment. Out of desperation, he decides to steal counterfeit whiskey from an alcohol supplier. Selling this, however, turns out to be more complicated than he thought. Filmmaker Ali Kalthami's comedic drama paints the portrait of a man whole life is full bad decisions and misfortune. Using exquisite imagery, Kalthami tells of the vibrant and rarely depicted ultra-modern nightlife of Saudi Arabia's capital, Riyadh.
