Cannes winner Tareque Masud’s last film, Runway follows teenage Ruhul (Haque) who lives with his family in a small hut next to the runway of Dhaka international airport.

One day at a cyber-cafe he meets computer geek Arif (Ahsan) who introduces him to what seems to be an inspiring and new religious sect, but all is not what it seems.
