In Beirut, 2013, the filmmaker’s uncle Riad and his friends, all veterans of the Christian militias in Lebanon, still feel nostalgia for the war that impassioned their youth. Between shared memories in her uncle's hunting shop and their hunting trips from which they often return empty-handed, the filmmaker questions them; she confronts them. At a time when Lebanon continues to live through torments, in Riad's store a rupture between generations is looming.
