About the Film

Five Star follows a woman who walks away from her family and everything familiar late one night, giving up her old life to be with a man she loves — only to find he never comes. Stranded and reeling, she takes a late-night motorcycle-taxi ride, and what follows is an unplanned night on the road with a stranger who becomes an unexpected source of clarity. Through their conversation, she comes to terms with the choice she made, and the lesson buried inside it.
