Synopsis
An old mansion known as the Pink House stands in Beirut as the place where the Nawfal families found refuge from the civil war. Today, many of the old shell-ridden buildings are being torn down for vast new construction projects. When Mattar, the owner of the Pink House, decides to transform the mansion into a large commercial center, the residents of the village become divided between the businessmen and shopkeepers who welcome the chance for economic development and the families that are being evicted from the building to make the venture possible.
