In an abandoned hotel deep in the Bulgarian mountains, digital nomads search for a new home, investors are hoping for profit, and the last villager revels in days gone by – all driven by the longing for #happyland in a place shaped by a socialist past.

Amid the tumult of Beirut, Alia meets Abu Samra, a man training to gain superpowers. She decides to train with him. Their shared monsters help them make sense of the insanity of Lebanon.
