Everything begins with a package that arrives for Maya (Rim Turki) at her home in Montreal on Christmas Eve. Her mother (Clémence Sabbagh)  and daughter Alex (Paloma Vauthier) accept the package on her behalf. The mother expresses annoyance, while the daughter is curious and excited about the mysterious box. Initially, the grandmother suggests hiding the package and giving it to Maya the day after Christmas, but as events unfold, she ends up discovering the package that very night.The film is inspired by a true story. The contents of the package—cassettes, photos, videos, diaries—are the correspondence between the director and a friend who emigrated to France to escape the Lebanese Civil War (1975-1990). Throughout the 1980s, from ages 13 to 18, she regularly wrote to this close friend. Each of the three women responds to the “entrusted package” which feels like an intrusion into their home, in different ways. For the grandmother, there is no desire to revisit the painful memories that are part of a past life. The mother hesitates to explore pages filled with nothing but death, pain, violence, and loss. Meanwhile, granddaughter Alex immerses herself in the scraps, papers, and photos, approaching them with the sensitivity of a child of the smartphone era. The film unfolds through these three generations of women, weaving a narrative that deeply engages with their experiences. Ultimately, it examines how personal histories cast shadows on those who come after us.The film transitions between different time periods, moving from the coldness of Canada to the vibrant yet fearful Beirut of the 1980s. This era is characterized by constant movement and a sense of danger, as well as a carefree attitude toward life. It also reflects lost innocence and a lively atmosphere infused with the music of that era. Maya’s belongings open the door to a captivating interplay between visual and audio mediums, where war is presented both as tragedy and farce.
