After a brutal car accident, Ahmed, a driven young businessman, is critically injured and trapped in a Tunisian public hospital with his younger brother Nour. Thrust into an unfamiliar, chaotic system, he discovers a world of pain, waiting, and silent resilience. As Nour clings to life, Ahmed is forced to confront his own values, social inequality, and the fragility of control. His experience becomes a powerful lens through which the film critiques Tunisia’s struggling public healthcare system—marked by neglect and human suffering. This unexpected ordeal transforms Ahmed, reshaping his bond with Nour and his view of the world forever.
