On a rainy evening, Aida drives up to the Lebanese mountains and unlocks an empty family house. Only Walid, her husband who has been living abroad for years, is not expecting to find her there. Their four day reunification is uneasy, as each tries to understand the other. Is there anything left to be saved? A measured dissection of a marriage that is simultaneously breathing and decomposing.
