As the 2006 war rages in Lebanon, 13-year-old Sariah, her older sister and her mother try to lead a seemingly normal life, confined to their mountain home overlooking Beirut. Tensions between the three women soon resurface. Sariah takes refuge in her world made of cartoons and war footage. But the awakening of her sexuality will only stress the rivalry with her sister.
