Zayzafouneh and her partner live in a place somewhere in no particular city. It is a city they both know very well, but it no longer knows itself. Nor does it know them. Zayzafouneh’s partner will go to great lengths to keep her with him. But when the unthinkable happens, everything changes, although it was never the same in the first place. Is love enough to save ourselves and those we love? Is dreaming enough? The questions are big and many, but the room is very small.
