alia and the monsters from her childhood are deeply affected by the destruction in beirut. born in a context of war, she develops both shields and vulnerabilities.
in her inner world, she encounters abu samra, a man training to be a superhero to save beirut. he, too, harbors his own monsters but offers imaginative glimpses of resistance, inspiring even the filmmaker herself as she steps into the frame.
