1990, New Year's Eve; the United Nations calls on Iraq to withdraw its soldiers from Kuwait on pain of NATO military intervention. In the West, people imagine the possibility of a third world war, while in Jerusalem, there are concerns about chemical and biological weapons.

Luisa, a 23-year-old Franco-Italian, studies ancient history in Jerusalem. Nathanaël, also 23, is a painter and works as a security guard in East Jerusalem. As Saddam Hussein threatens to launch SCUD missiles at Israel, the young couple deals with the ramifications of world events on their relationship.
