In a one-day commercial shoot, Loubna, the ambitious producer meets Farouk, the first-time-actor who’s excited about landing the opportunity of his dreams.


When Farouk receives a disturbing phone call mid-shoot, he’s urged to leave the set immediately, ruining the one-day shoot, canceling it for the day.


Contract commitments are the infuriated production manager’s main focus, driving Loubna to rise to the occasion, trying to convince Farouk to stay and trying to save the day from collapsing.
