It is the national independence day in Lebanon. Three different women who do not know each other travel on the same bus, moving towards the same destination: the prison of Mermel. Against her parents' will Tamara wants to visit her husband imprisoned since the very day of their marriage. Lina has one single objective in her head: to make her husband, who serves a long punishment, sign the divorce papers to let her eventually free. For Hala it is a forced trip that she undertakes full of fear: she carries the forgotten service gun of her husband, who works as a guard in the prison.
