Amer is a middle-aged man living a busy life. He takes care of his own family as well as   helps his friend Zuhair's wife and daughter to survive during his friend's absence in prison. Added to this is a bag of odd jobs which combine working as Arabic tutor to a Japanese student, working as sweet maker in a sweet shop, and taking up taxi driving on the side. The tempo of his life becomes almost slapstick-like. Amer's wife is not happy with her ever absent husband. Zuhair has been imprisoned for many years by now - one of the country's political prisoners with an uncertain future. When it looks like he is about to be released, Amer and Zuhair's wife realise that they have feelings for one another.
