Darine, a lively radio horoscope presenter, must replace a fired news anchor during an economic crisis, forcing her to leave her fictional bubble and confront the harsh reality shaped by her own words.
"Darine, a vibrant woman in her mid-thirties, works at a small, politicised radio station in Beirut, where she hosts the morning show ‘Horoscopes with Darine’. She leads the programme with expertise, thanks to her talent for crafting sweet little lies. Coming from a middle-class background, she shares a modest apartment with her mother, a devout Christian, and her quirky aunt, who is housebound due to respiratory issues and spends her days reading tarot cards. Darine’s job is the sole source of income for the household. Caught between her family responsibilities, personal life, and daily struggles, Darine cocoons herself in a fictional bubble filled with horoscopes, old Egyptian films, 1990s Arab music, and dating apps.
One day, Darine’s life takes an unexpected turn when the radio station asks her to replace the news anchor, who was fired due to the country’s economic crisis. Having always retreated into a deliberately fictional universe through her horoscopes, Darine suddenly finds herself forced to announce the harsh news of a country on the brink of total collapse, broadcasting a reality she is not ready to face."
