After a burglary takes place at the warehouse where he works, Hassan, a 35-year-old security guard, returns home fearing he may lose his job. Over the course of one quiet night, he shares conversations with his aging mother, whose fragile mental state masks a deep and unwavering love for her son. As they revisit disappointments, unfulfilled dreams, and the weight of everyday survival, Hassan struggles with loneliness, regret, and an uncertain future. By morning, a simple gesture reveals the emotional truth that has quietly shaped the night, turning an ordinary evening into a poignant reflection on family, resilience, and the silent sacrifices that often go unnoticed.
