Plot
In Saudi Arabia, Najeeb Muhammed and Hakim, two Malayali immigrants, arrive in search of a better future, guided by their acquaintance Sreekumar. However, they find themselves stranded at the airport, unsure of their employer’s identity. An Arab local mistakenly assumes he is their boss, setting them on a grueling path. Najeeb ends up working in a remote desert as a goat herder, enduring harsh conditions and isolation. The death of a fellow herder makes him acutely aware of the danger he faces.
Years later, Najeeb reunites with Hakim, who introduces him to Ibrahim Khadiri, a Somalian goatherd familiar with escape routes. They plan their escape during Khafeel’s daughter’s wedding but face a treacherous journey through the desert. Their situation deteriorates: Hakim dies, Najeeb nearly perishes, and Khadiri vanishes. Najeeb ultimately finds his way back to civilization with the help of a passing Arab and discovers a local Malayali restaurant run by Kunjikka, who helps him recover.
Despite this respite, Najeeb’s struggles continue. He faces imprisonment due to issues with his documentation and encounters Khafeel, complicating his situation further.
