A native Beiruti takes a journey to the edge of her city, where she is drawn to explore a state of oneness with an endemic flower. The flower’s endangered status stirs up questions about the scattered sense of belonging and duality of her world. Through diverse encounters, the flower reveals herself as the protagonist and invites the narrator to explore the wilderness and brutality of Beirut’s last remaining public coastal areas.
