On Christmas day in Montreal, Maia and her daughter Alex receive an unexpected delivery from Beirut. There are notebooks, tapes and photographs, a whole correspondence, that Maia, from 13 to 18 years old, sent from Beirut to her best friend who had left for Paris to escape the civil war. Maia refuses to open the box or confront its memories, but Alex secretly begins diving into it. Between fantasy and reality, Alex discovers the world of her mother’s tumultuous, passionate adolescence in the 80s, and well kept secrets.
