Before he knows it, Koralnik is having dinner with her. For the first time, he can flee his everyday misery for an evening of company. But then the telephone rings. It's Koralnik's first job. With Rosa alongside, Koralnik sets off on a chaotic odyssey through a night in which nothing goes according to plan. It is only when Koralnik's target is revealed to be none other than one of his colleagues that the rigid concept by which he lives finally comes into question.

- 201418mNot Rated6.8 (65)ShortDirectorOmar El ZohairyIn a contemporary world subjugated by materialism, filled with perpetual fear and unending hardships, the definition of our humanity is blurred, residing in a grey area where it becomes difficult to differentiate between the life of an object and that of a human being.

Fear, that feeling which comes over you like a tornado, destroying all other things in its way. This is why I tried to make a film about that emotion only, devoid as much as possible of any other, a film only about fear.
