Three years after the beginning of the Civil War the filmmaker returns to her city for several months. Living between this country at war and a country in peace, she tries to readapt to daily life in Beirut. Public transport in the city no longer exists, but the filmmaker gets an old bus up-and-running, provoking a disconcerting return to normality in this city at war: people climb onto the bus, which they see as a place of security.
