Sleepless are the nights of Assaad Shaftari, a former high-ranking intelligence officer in the Lebanese Forces militia, who feels guilt for his bloody acts during the civil war and the nights of Maryam Saiidi, who’s still searching for her son Maher, a young communist fighter who disappeared in 1982. While each of them is looking for salvation, the film asks if redemption and forgiveness are possible in a community that seems unable to heal itself.
