Youssef, a taxi driver, is about to make a hard choice, between a surgery that might save his life and a dog to buy for his son on his birthday, both have time limits, so he has to make it before "the Last Friday"!
Isolation and loneliness are the dominant feelings in Youssef's life after getting divorced from his wife who took the only son they have to live with her. He counts the days till he sees his son once a week. He plays with himself gammon, makes himself some tea and makes breakfast. Sometimes he takes long drives with his taxi in the streets of Amman or meet up with his friend and talk about his troubles. Suddenly, he finds himself in a serious situation when the doctor tells him about the necessity of having a testicle surgery. So he is in the dilemma of the choice; either he has an operation on his testicle, or buy his son the dog before the stepfather with whom the child lives does... lots of details... single shot scenes... a tone takes you through this isolated world... his taxi running in the streets of Amman compelled to live with his loneliness, dominated by oppression endured by all of us at the times of economic and social grinding crises.
