Despite his fears of others, he challenges himself by switching on the lights of his home.

With the seemingly trivial switching on of a light, he finds himself on a road trip that alters his clockwork and very private lifestyle. Starting with the sheltering of the screaming woman, Laila, a recently divorced Palestinian/Syrian traveling back to Damascus, the adventure continues and eventually introduces two others into Radi’s mobile home.
