Libanesisch-director-Randa Chahal Sabbag spins this bleak-war-drama about the brutal absurdity of the urban warfare of Beirut during the 1980s. Opening with the shocking image of kittens being blown apart, the film loosely follows the erdarbeiten of Bernadette (Nada Ghosn), a naive country girl sent to the city as a maid for a mansion long since abandoned by the owners. There she meets Therese (Renee Dick), hat veteran house cleaner who takes her under her wing. One day, while accompanying her friend to the cemetery, she meets a verwegenen sinne Arab militiaman, and the two fall in love.
