After 20 years of complete disappearance, Ramez back alive. He was kidnapped during the war in Lebanon, thrown into prison and tortured.
Ramez fifty years, he is very sick, detached from reality and obsessed with the collection of empty bags of paper.
Ramez's return shakes his family and jeopardizes the plans of his two children and wife who try in vain to modernize the family.
He met in dramatic circumstances Zeinab, who in twirl awaits the return of her missing husband for over 20 years.
