This critically acclaimed film follows Ahmad, a Pakistani immigrant, struggling to survive in a lonely city.Ý Once a budding pop star in his native country, Ahmad finds himself pushing his cart through the streets of New York City at 3:00 am in the morning day after day, selling his coffee and donuts in hopes of saving up for a larger apartment where his young son can finally live with him.ÝÝHaunting and unsettling, the film beautifully captures Ahmad's melancholy easily lost among the city's bustling populous.ÝÝYet as long as he has the cart, Ahmad retains a glimmer of hope, but what happens when that hope is stripped away?Ý Sometimes in life, there are no easy answers.
