A delivery rider struggles to find his untraceable customer while racing against time in a life and death situation.

After asking for an additional delivery to pay for his mother’s medical needs, delivery rider Oddie ends up looking for an oddly unlocatable customer named Trisha Lopez.

DIRECTOR’S NOTES

We are currently living in an ‘add-to-cart’ era where delivery riders play an important role in our lives. They put their lives on the line just to make sure that we receive our orders in the best possible condition. However, despite their hard work, delivery riders remain to be underappreciated by many.

In this film, we follow the journey of Oddie, the main character, as he carries the weight of his delivery and the responsibility of being the eldest son to a sick mother. With this project, I aspire to touch hearts and make people reflect about our lives during the pandemic. May the sincere narrative of this film speak to us consumers and remind us to be kind every time we encounter a delivery rider.
