Following the lives of four influential Lebanese Christians, in a politically unstable environment, they symbolise the former “Switzerland of the Middle East” – representatives of a golden age, reluctant to fade into the background.

Overcoming their fears they live life to the fullest, oblivious to the changes around them. Existing in a bittersweet oasis, a cocktail of intense social occasions and the extravagances of a bygone times. Is this the end of an era? A charming depiction of extraordinary characters.
