The Lebanese film­mak­er makes sev­er­al trips from Ger­many back to her home city of Beirut over the course of the three years fol­low­ing the onset of a cat­a­stroph­ic eco­nom­ic col­lapse in the coun­try in 2019. She tries to make sense of a life enmeshed in crisis, born of one and head­ing towards anoth­er one. In the process, she wit­ness­es in frag­ments and through unplanned encoun­ters how every­one around her: family, friends, passers-by, and her­self have come to emo­tion­al­ly nav­i­gate the eerily mun­dane nature of this ter­ri­ble event -the end of their world.
