British filmmaker Sam faces a life crisis as he visits the Arabian desert for a job. His career is stalling, he’s on the brink of divorce, and he’s racked with guilt about being an absent father to his young son. During a freak rainstorm, he has a fleeting and powerful connection with the captivating Inma, and these two strangers in a strange land are consumed by mutual attraction. But this isn’t a love story. These are adults with baggage, unable to evade their pasts. Sam also develops a bond with charismatic local guide Abdullah, whose unlikely friendship offers him the chance to further explore his emotions.

Against a background of war breaking out in Europe and the Mexican fiesta Day of Death, we are taken through one day in the life of Geoffrey Firmin, a British consul living in alcoholic disrepair and obscurity in a small southern Mexican town in 1939. The consul's self-destructive behaviour, perhaps a metaphor for a menaced civilization, is a source of perplexity and sadness to his nomadic, idealistic half-brother, Hugh, and his ex-wife, Yvonne, who has returned with hopes of healing Geoffrey and their broken marriage.

At thirteen-years-old, with an unusually high IQ and a knack for observing things about other people, Lou Bertignac is not only the youngest in her class at school; she is also the most unusual. Painfully shy, she has few friends, save for Lucas, whose company helps her get through each day. At home, Lou's life is also difficult: Her mother hasn't left the house in years and her father spends his days crying in the bathroom. Lou's world is dark and sad... That is, until she meets No.
A feature film set over the course of one restless night in Beirut, the film follows Nuhad, who hires a struggling cameraman with his last US$ 300 to document what he believes will be a defining turning point in his life. As they drift through the city, a series of awkward encounters, impulsive detours, and disarming confessions begin to unravel his carefully constructed plan. What starts as a controlled narrative gradually gives way to something more intimate and unpredictable, revealing a tender, often darkly funny portrait of two men circling questions of purpose, identity, and connection. Grounded in the rhythms and contradictions of contemporary Beirut, the film balances humor and vulnerability, offering a quietly affecting story about the unexpected moments that can shift how we see ourselves and each other.
