Logline

The film is a patchwork of the colorful personal life of Alia, a Lebanese woman. Being raised through war and displacement, searching for freedom, she forms a friendship with a madman on the shore of Beirut called Abu Samra. When the Lebanese revolution starts on 17 October 2019 they realize they are not alone.

Synopsis

There was lots of shelling, though Alia never used to be scared. Being born during a war is different for a child, makes it seem normal. When the flare bombs rained over the south of Lebanon at night her father would tell her these were falling stars finding their way to earth.
