Semaan leads a peaceful life on his farm in the small village of Ain al-Halazoun in the Lebanese mountains. During the civil war (1975–1990), the inhabitants left and the village was completely destroyed; today Semaan is the only one who still lives there. Many years after the official ceasefire, the villagers, all of whom belong to the same family, regularly return to tend to their land or visit their homes, yet they leave before dusk. During the film, the director takes a detached and humorous look at the life of this ghost village, and he tries to reflect on the history of a country that seems to be living through a sort of collective amnesia, which leaves it vulnerable to the outbreak of yet another civil war.
