Zeina, a Catholic student, and her Muslim friend Haidar record tapes about why the 1977 Lebanese conflict persists and why they oppose it. As Zeina prepares to leave for the United States, Haidar promises to meet her at the airport, but he is delayed, harassed and discards his tape, leaving Zeina heartbroken. The film concludes with a meta‑discussion among cast and director Borhane Alaouie on whether Haidar should kill himself.
