Beirut, 1983. Lina, a twelve year old girl, don�t care about the war. Her secret, rebellious childhood centres around Siham, her aunt's maid.

In a precarious wartime daily existence where passion and frustrations overshadow everything, Lina inadvertently reaches into the adult world, unaware of the existence of good or evil�
