Synopsis During the civil war, the Nawfal family fled their village and made their home in an abandoned pink mansion in Beirut, full of beauty and intrigue. After more than a decade, they receive a visit from the man who has inherited the house; they have ten days to find a new home so that he can turn it into a commercial center. As the neighborhood discusses the problem, tensions emerge between the love of the old and the demands and advantages of the new.
