The movie narrates the story of Richard (Badih Abou Chacra) who works in security and surveillance and gets robbed and loses his computer case that contains a hard disk with classified information. While chasing the thief, Richard arrives to a poor neighborhood in which he’s obliged to stay and look for the case himself because he can’t involve the police due to the secrecy around the content of the computer case. By chance, he gets closer and closer with this neighborhood’s residents, their different personalities and insecurities unveiling the details and reality of a world very new to him; he who has been used to hiding behind his surveillance cameras. He also finds himself attracted in a weird way to “Farah” (Carole Samaha) whom he breaks into her house by force searching for the thief he saw entering there; Farah is an ordinary yet exceptional woman fighting to live with dignity in a cruel unfair society. What will happen to the computer case? What will Richard do now after his life has flipped upside down?! And what will be the reaction of Farah and the neighbors towards this weird guy?!
