Beirut-born filmmaker Jihane Chouaib presents a moving study of life in modern-day Lebanon as told through the story of a young woman (Iranian actress Golshifteh Farahani, in a magnetic performance) who returns to her rural childhood home after years abroad in France. Unwelcome by the villagers and haunted by the murder of her grandfather during civil war, she begins to search for answers and discovers something unexpected - herself.
