A Palestinian woman confronts an existential threat on a deserted road to Ramallah.

Driving home from her night shift, Palestinian surgeon Lubna blows a tyre on a desolate stretch of West Bank road. When a man pulls over, her every instinct screams danger – and what she does next will change everything. This terrifying slow-burn thriller hits MIFF after scooping multiple festival awards, including Best Short Film at BFI London and a Special Jury Mention for Bravery in Storytelling at AFI Fest.
