Summary
Georg Laschen is a German journalist whose relationship with his wife
Greta is becoming increasingly strained. It is without regret
that he sets out for the Lebanon to make a report on the civil war,
assisted by his friend and colleague Hoffmann. In the
war-torn city of Beirut, Laschen encounters a former lover who is
living there with her husband. The horrors of the war soon take
their toll and, having caused the death of an Arab man, Laschen returns
to Germany, unwilling to sell the story he has compiled.
