Overview

In 2023 Lebanon, Aida and her husband struggle to make ends meet after he has loses his job as a private chauffeur. In addition to frequent electricity cuts and her growing boredom as a housewife whose kids have left the nest, Aida can now no longer pay the bills. Through a fortuitous turn of events, she intersects with Saydeh, who works as a film extra and helps enroll Aida in a background casting agency called Paradise. This, in turn, leads Aida to bond with new girlfriends and push back on her increasingly grumpy husband as she redefines the limits Beirut society had set for her.
