24 hours in Malek's life, in Beirut today. The young man lives with his mother Claudia. Suffering from the syndrome of the apnoea sleep, he falls asleep as soon as he does not move. Today, Malek has convinced Claudia to see a lawyer and make official the death of his father who disappeared 15 years ago. He tries to find a rhythm of life and synchronises it with the others, with the city and above all with Zeina, the woman he loves but who refuses to meet him. He blends into Beirut's streets and bars, searching for Zeina, hoping she will give him a second chance. Will today be the 'perfect day' to lay the ghosts of our past and find again those we lost?
