Strange events in a construction site create tension between the Syrian workers and the Lebanese villagers. One worker becomes convinced that the site is haunted.
A Lebanese ghost story.
Tarek, a young Syrian deserter, seeks refuge in Lebanon with the hope of eventually making his way to Europe. He finds work at a construction site in a forest near a Lebanese village, but quickly discovers that the locals are hostile towards Syrian workers due to the painful memories of the Syrian military occupation of Lebanon in the 1990s.
As the construction work progresses, strange and life-threatening events begin. The Syrian workers suspect the villagers of sabotaging their work, which amplifies the tension between the two clans.
In the midst of this paranoia, Tarek is subject to strange visions in which he sees a woman lurking in the forest. He gradually understands that she might be the ghost of a woman who was murdered during the occupation. Despite Tarek’s warnings, no one believes his theory that she’s the one responsible for these occurrences, not even Rana, a young Lebanese villager whom he befriends.
