팔레스타인을 떠나 제2의 터전을 찾고 싶었던 일리야 술레이만 감독은 자신을 따라다니는 팔레스타인이라는 꼬리표를 떼어버릴 수 없음을 알게 된다. 새로운 삶을 향한 그의 열망은 이 영화에서 실패를 자조하는 희극으로 전환된다. 술레이만 감독은 파리, 뉴욕 등 세계 대도시를 다니며 제작자들에게 서툴게 자신의 ‘팔레스타인’ 영화를 설명하고 무표정한 얼굴로 거리를 응시하는 자신의 페르소나를 연기한다. 영화 속 술레이만은 팔레스타인 사람이면서 극중 인물의 말처럼 ‘충분히 팔레스타인 사람 같지 않은’ 존재로 어느 곳에도 섞이지 못한다. 감독은 어눌해 보이기도 하고 현자 같기도 한 또 다른 술레이만의 눈을 통해 세상과 팔레스타인의 현재 모습을 풍자적으로 보여준다.

It's Independence Day in Lebanon: three women who've never met before are on the same bus heading to visit a prison situated in a remote area of the country. Traveling through an arid landscape littered with mines and decapitated dreams, the journey transforms into the women's quest for their own independence.
Each morning Beirut awakens to a new murder seemingly committed by a serial killer, with victims found emptied of their blood. At the same time a doctor, Khalil, begins to experience strange symptoms that destabilise him and transform his life. A connection slowly emerges that seems to link Khalil to these victims. Salhab’s body of films have come to narrate the state of Lebanon – and Beirut in particular – during and after the civil war, and this film is no exception.
In a Beirut apartment, two girls wander around, confronting each other with unspoken words. Mixed-up messages and ambiguous actions take place in an ever-changing place surrounded by abstract and concrete sounds. The two girls break the wall of silence with every human emotions : confusion, desire, violence, appetite, bravery, ecstasy, happiness and separation.
