Within the walls of one Baghdad house, an elderly Christian, Youssef, holds on to the home he has lived in for fifty years and to his memories of better times. Sharing it is Maha, a young relative driven from her own home by sectarian killings, who with her husband counts the days until they can emigrate. In the space of a day their opposed views of Iraq meet.
