On another hot summer day in Sour, south of Lebanon—Nayla, a young beachside resort waitress, has to come to terms with what her future plans will be once the summer ends.
On another hot summer day, Nayla wakes up, prays, then accidentally cuts herself while shaving her legs. While driving her to work, Nayla’s brother tells her that moving with him abroad once the summer ends, is final and that she’ll have a better future there. Blood flows underwater from Nayla’s cut on her thigh while she swims to meet the group of young guests she has befriended. They have agreed to drive to Beirut the next day for a scheduled university interview. Anthony, Nayla’s summer fling, wants her to move to Beirut and debates what Nayla wants, while she remains silent. As the night falls and Nayla’s decisions come closer, she loses touch with reality while she has her first romantic experience with Anthony. She ends up alone, in the pitch-black sea, and realizes that she can make her own decision. The next day, Nayla’s brother arrives at the resort looking for her, while Anthony wakes up with no one by his side. Nayla is nowhere to be found.
