After fleeing his privileged but stifling life, young Gabriel finds himself in a remote village, desperate enough to steal canned food. His clumsy attempt is interrupted by Ward, a charming older Lebanese woman who offers him shelter. Taken aback by her suspicious kindness, Gabriel decides to rob her but finds himself sticking around longer than expected. As days stretch into weeks, their interactions give way to an unusual connection. Together, they navigate a fragile balance between mistrust and intimacy, discovering in each other what they didn’t realize they were searching for.
