Rush Hour - Three cities, one journey that never ends

In this compelling documentary, the daily commute becomes a powerful metaphor for the sacrifices demanded by modern life.

From Istanbul’s bustling ferries to the highways of Los Angeles and the packed transit systems of Mexico City, the film follows three individuals whose lives revolve around motion, long hours spent just getting to and from work.

Their stories highlight the invisible cost of survival in urban systems that separate labor from life. More than a documentary about transportation, it’s a quiet, universal portrait of time lost, strength found, and the daily resilience of those who move to support the ones they love.
