Synopsis

Gossip and violence run rampant deep in the labyrinthine
alleys of East Amman. Ali, a hustler pretending to be a
businessman, has to keep his relationship with Lana a secret
in order to hide from society’s judgemental eye. Things start
to fall apart when Lana’s mother, Aseel, is blackmailed by an
unknown voyeur who has filmed the young couple.
Hoping to avoid embarrassment, Aseel discreetly convinces
Abbas, a ruthless gangster, to put a stop to it all… but things
do not go as planned. Their lives start to intertwine and
collide not only with each other, but with other neighbours
living in the same alleys.
