On the eve of his most personal play, Khalid, a struggling theater director, seeks escape in drugs and solitude. His night is disrupted by a low-ranking police officer sent to write a report about the performance. What begins as routine spirals into a surreal night of hazy focus, uneasy conversation, and unexpected connection. As boundaries blur and confessions surface, the two men, each quietly battling his own collapse, discover in each other a reflection they didn't expect, and a mirror they can't ignore.
Mohammad Hushki is a director and writer who made his award-winning debut feature, Transit Cities, in 2010. Afterward, he ventured into television, creating several series for various local and pan-Arab platforms. He is currently developing multiple projects as a creator and writer, spanning genres from fantasy and drama to sci-fi. He also recently completed a short film titled The Play at 8.
