Dalia and Eli, both in their thirties, have built a safe bubble
amid Beirut’s economic and social tensions as they plan
their wedding. Days before the ceremony, Dalia begins
experiencing hallucinations, feeling like a stranger in
her own home. Sleep-deprived, she wonders into the
mountains, where a nun from a nearby psychiatric
hospital takes her in.
There, Dalia reconnects with reality but grows attached
to this fractured world. Incidentally, che is obsessing over
Paul, a recovering addict who avoids contact. When the
hospital announces a “resocialisation” release, Paul is set
free while Dalia is not. She escapes to find him. Their brief,
intense time together awakens his addictive side, and they
start a passionate relationship. But Eli eventually tracks
them down and Paul flees.
Dalia and Eli search nighttime Beirut for him, finding him
volatile, and bring him back home. While the psychiatric
ward is closed, Paul must stay with them. During a fragile
dinner, grief turns to laughter, and all three realise that,
though their future is uncertain, they have profoundly
touched each other.
