Synopsis

My Rock delves into the life of what seems to be your average day to day guy, “Zakia”, who goes through a series of missed opportunities and half-hearted attempts to meet expectations, in a world that seems to be against him.

Though what lies beneath the surface is a deteriorating relationship, unpaid bills, and professional stagnation. Zakia journeys through his day, consumed by self doubt and avoidance, unable to confront the consequences of his shortcomings. Through every interaction and decision, his bad luck never seems to run out, yet the current state of his life is determined by no one else, but himself. Ultimately, Zakia is forced to face the consequences of his inaction, questioning whether it’s too late to take control and find redemption amidst the pressures he faces.
