Hassan, a quiet security guard living in Cairo with his mother, is forced to go on the run after his dog and closest companion, Rambo, bites their hostile landlord. As Hassan moves through the city in search of a safe place for the dog, he's pulled into situations that make him confront painful memories and fears he's long buried -- ultimately leading him to reconnect with a part of himself he thought was lost.
