By following the five main dwellers of Tripoli's Sunday Market, showing their intimate stories, regrets, joy, and struggles, this creative feature documentary explores the nuances of life in the city in the context of poverty and survival. Usually treated like "strangers", even by the inhabitants of the city itself, the people in these marginal areas lack a voice of their own, but they deserve to be heard and known.
