1h 33m

On a fuel-supplying oil tanker in rivers, Old Maqbool, a compassionate cook, wishes luck to all the crew. But the power-hungry helmsman suspects him of being a spy for the vessel owner and harasses him all the time. During port maintenance, Maqbool befriends Noora, a young stowaway seeking refuge. The helmsman exploits the downtime to smuggle oil, which attracts the owner's attention. During a sudden visit, impressed with Maqbool's cooking, the owner allows Noora to stay as his assistant. Desperate to hide his deeds, the helmsman falsely accuses Noora of theft, sparking a web of lies and friction among the crew.
