Four teen-age refugees, training as journalists in the Shatila camp in Lebanon, hatch a crazy plan to make a film that will convince Roger Waters, formerly of Pink Floyd to reunite and play a concert in their camp. The film follows their hilarious and sometimes dangerous adventures, uncovering the complex layers of living as a refugee within the pulsing city of war-scarred Beirut, a crossroads for creativity, crime, and psychedelic transformations.
