Ali is a teenage boy living with his mother and his uncle. In a single night, he finds himself caught between the oppressive calls of his mother and an uncle who entangles him in a murder and tests his silence.

With every word, every movement, every breath… Ali moves closer to a moment of no return. THE film has won the best film in Alexandria short film festival ( golden hypatia award )
