In a modern coffee shop, a general, aged 78, and an army doctor, 81, come to play crosswords in order to preserve their memory and fight against oblivion. Through an amusing intense dialogue, we enter the thoughts of our two main characters and other characters around them in the coffee shop to find ourselves in a head of a well painted portrait of the Lebanese scene between the present and the past.
