Synopsis

Youssef has decided to live in the ruins of a building in Beirut. He collects photos of happy people which he sticks on the walls of his room. However, behind each of these images are the sounds of millions of implosions of a city murdered over time, memories and lives torn apart. Many of these photos are the only things left by the inhabitants who fled during the war. Three stories, linked by this crumbling building: the stories of Lamia, Jad and Naya. Beirut is a city where people roam, to and fro, over again.
