In present-day Damascus, Majd studies sociology and works as a waitress by day in a new coffee shop at the center of the downtown. In that same Damascus, Shams studies acting and works as a waitress by night in a bar located in one of the oldest streets, not only of the city but the whole world. Majd and Shams meet at the beginning or the end of the day in their rented room and thus share nights and days, tasks and moments, bread and alcohol, confrontations and regrets, stories and secrets, just like all little-big sisters do in this little-big world of ours.
