In 1976, during the Lebanese civil war, Georges tries to fulfil the dream of his friend Sam, a secretly Jewish theatre director: to stage Anouilh's Antigone on the front line with actors from the warring factions (Christians, Palestinians, Druze, Shiites). When Sam falls ill, Georges swears to take his place and travels to Beirut to gather the actors and achieve an hour of truce amid the war.
