Under the bright lights of the TV studio, reporter Nadim was preparing to broadcast his show. His agenda for the day was to talk about the biggest corporate crime in the city. He assumed he had enough evidence. Nadim wanted to compete with the rival channels. While discussing this complex issue, he got into a conflict with his old friend, who was now a powerful ally. After the show, his friend called him, angry, and said, 'You can't blame me for everything.' Nadim tried to convince him that it was part of his job. But their constant arguments continued. Nadim realized that understanding the context of such work is very difficult. Eventually, their friendship came to a cease. Nadim wanted to capture the city's corruption through his program, but he didn't realize he would have to pay such a high price for it. Being consistent in his work made him lonely.
