Synopsis

A truck driver sits in a dimly lit sleeper cab at a service area along a busy motorway. Outside, the sounds of traffic blend with the quiet of early morning. As summer dawns, life on the road unfolds in simple moments: cooking, dozing, and exchanging brief conversations. Polish pop songs play softly from one of the cabs. The film captures the stillness and routine of truck drivers as they navigate their solitary lives on the highway.
