MovieThe film revolves around the subject of Syrian-Lebanese relations, starting from the period of the Syrian military presence in Lebanon, and up until after the Syrian army left, through a love story between a Lebanese woman who came to Damascus to work as a bank manager, and a young Syrian man who works as a communications manager there. The story between them begins with tension, but it quickly turns into a love story, although the tension between them does not completely disappear with falling in love, as the two characters are still living in the past.
