Lebanon, 1949. The country is facing an imminent war. Catholic siblings, Emilie and Emir, set off for Brazil. On the way, Emilie falls in love with Omar, a muslim merchant. Unable to control his jealousy, Emir uses their religious differences to separate them. Before reaching their final destiny, Emir is badly wounded in an accident with a gun while fighting with Omar.
