Synopsis
The scriptwriter shares little moments and stories, either experienced or told to him. The film concentrates on a friendship between three young men. It takes place over a summer, in which one of them decides to return to Lebanon for the holidays. The story explores the challenges they face, in a country where the culture forces them to question the human nature of the world.
