Двенадцатилетний Зейн не может точно ответить на вопрос, сколько у него братьев и сестёр, но уверен, что детей в его семье должно было быть меньше. Несмотря на юный возраст, Зейн нелегально работает, следит за младшими, помогает старшим, ищет деньги и документы на эмиграцию в Швецию. Он смотрит на мир с нескрываемой ненавистью. Ему есть что ненавидеть. Дети на улицах Бейрута попрошайничают, едят посыпанный сахаром лёд и чипсы, девочек как можно раньше продают замуж, сам он вынужден есть что попало, спать, где придётся, и самое главное — он только что получил пятилетний срок. В тюрьме Зейн подаёт в суд на родителей. За то, что они дали ему жизнь.
Бывший американский дипломат возвращается в Бейрут, чтобы спасти своих старых коллег, попавших в заложники к боевикам.
Ливанский осведомитель и израильский агент Моссада заперты вместе в конспиративной квартире, где нет ничего безопасного и никому нельзя доверять.
In April, 1975, civil war breaks out; Beirut is partitioned along a Moslem-Christian line. Tarek is in high school, making Super 8 movies with his friend, Omar. At first the war is a lark: school has closed, the violence is fascinating, getting from West to East is a game. His mother wants to leave; his father refuses. Tarek spends time with May, a Christian, orphaned and living in his building. By accident, Tarek goes to an infamous brothel in the war-torn Olive Quarter, meeting its legendary madam, Oum Walid. He then takes Omar and May there using her underwear as a white flag for safe passage. Family tensions rise. As he comes of age, the war moves inexorably from adventure to tragedy.
Disillusioned with his life in the suburbs of segregated Beirut, Omar's unusual discovery lures him into the depth of the city. Immersed into a world that is so close yet so isolated from his reality, he finds himself struggling to keep his attachments, his sense of home.
A couple of beautiful girls are murdered while sunbathing at a luxury hotel. The killer too is murdered, but able to reveal – before dying - that they were disposed of because the “knew too much”. Something bad is being planned in Beirut, and it has something to do with a man called The Sheikh, who has only four fingers. It seems this isn’t a lone incident. The Sheikh is also thought to be behind the assassination of several prominent scientists.

Beirut is a wonderful town. It's like you're at the center of everything. In Beirut, between 1975 and 1990, there was a civil war, everybody wanted to exterminate everybody. Today, war is over.
