Sukkar Mor revolves around several characters witness unexpected dramatic changes due to certain incidents in their lives. Others remain the same unchanged no matter how difficult are the hardships they face. Some relationships may seem perfect on the surface, yet deep down this perfection may be the reason behind their failure. At the same time, some relations may seem impossible, but they last forever for illogical reasons. Five years of political and social turmoil reflected on the romantic attachments that were supposed to end happily ever after. Despite all odds, everyone still has hope for this New Year, because no one can really predict the future.
