After 20 years of complete disappearance, Ramez comes back home, alive. He was abducted during the war in Lebanon, thrown into prison and tortured. Ramez is fifty, very sick, disconnected from reality and obsessed with a collection of empty paper bags. Ramez's return shakes his family and jeopardizes the plans of his wife and two children who try in vain to recreate the family. He meets Zeinab in dramatic circumstances, who in turn awaits the return of her missing husband for over 20 years. A deep friendship develops between the two.
