"زين" شاب عشريني بسيط يبدو راضيا بعمله في مركز خدمة عملاء لاحدى شركات الانترنت، في مناوبته الليلية، وبعدما تجاوزت الساعة الثانية فجرا، يأتيه اتصال من العميل أكرم الذي يشكو انقطاع الخدمة، ورغم ان سبب العطل كان واضحا وبسيطا ولن يستغرق اصلاحه اكثر من ساعتين، الا ان اكرم لم يتقبل ذلك بسهولة، وتدريجيا يتحول استياءه من الخدمة، الى سياط نفسية يعذب بها زين ويكشف له مدى انسحاقه وضعفه وبشاعة حياته.
Zein, a young man in his mid 20s, seems content with his job as a customer service representative for an internet service provider. During one of his shifts, way past midnight, he receives a call from a customer, Akram. Complaining about a malfunction, Akram’s frustration starts growing. His dissatisfaction with the process gradually becomes an abusive rant, during which he lashes out at Zein, exposing to him the drudgery of his work, his powerlessness, and the ugliness of his life.
