Synopsis
It is December 31 in Beirut. Seven people are visiting their psychologists, clinging to the hope of making sense of the past year. Inside the elevator that leads to the clinic and to the therapist’s couch, they look their problems in the face and try to define what is important to them. Different stories of lonely souls – from the patients to the residents of the building – intertwine and are revealed. All are struggling to find some semblance of stability in an unstable country.
