Selam, a young woman who studied in Cuba, returns to her homeland and rents a room from a couple whose soldier son, Abraham, used to occupy it. She feels disconnected and drinks nightly to cope with her unhappiness. When Abraham unexpectedly announces his return, Selam is asked to leave, but she persuades his mother to let her stay a bit longer. Initially frustrated with Selam's behavior, Abraham eventually falls in love with her, helping her feel at home in her country.
