SYNOPSIS

Saleh is a man who lives in an old house in the mountains near the Lebanese city of Byblos and does not belong to a family or a religious sect in a society where such criteria define a human being.
Worse, he lacks a nationality and a passport, he even lacks the right to live his life as an ordinary citizen since he is labeled as a ’lakit’ of unknown ancestry.
