Synopsis
It intimately portrays the parallel stories of three characters in three of the world’s most complex and emblematic cities: Mexico City, Los Angeles, and Istanbul. All three share the experience of spending half of their day commuting to work. Each feels they are losing something essential in their lives that will never return. As their conflicts unfold, they cannot help but wonder: is it possible to change one’s life?
