Lebanon, 1982. To keep a promise made to an old friend, Georges, an idealistic theater director, travels to Beirut for a project as utopian as it is risky: to stage the play Antigone on the front line, in order to steal a moment of peace from the raging civil war. The characters will be played by actors from different political and religious camps. Lost in a city and a conflict he knows nothing about, Georges is guided by Marwan. As fighting resumes, everything is soon called into question, and Georges, who falls in love with Imane, has to face up to the reality of war.
A story that reflects the Lebanese society through a family whose members' lives are suspended, like everything else in the country.
The series follows the romance between an aristocratic young man and a girl from a rural family, depicting several old Lebanese traditions that are born out of prejudice against women and patriarchal ideas about women's inheritance.
