Summary

Through five stories, the film presents moments of humanity, dark humor, and difficult choices. In search of food, Arafat encounters a stranger who offers him a piece of bread, prompting reflection on hunger and despair. Young survivors discover VHS tapes in an abandoned store and are torn between burning them for warmth or preserving the past. Walid's addiction to smoking illustrates the absurd inflation of values under siege. Fares risks his safety to spend a moment of intimacy with his girlfriend amid bombings, while Saleh, a war profiteer, desperately searches for blood to save his wife, who is about to give birth.
