For more than 60 years, Uncle Elias has worked at his shop, which has become an essential part of his life. Today, the shop is at risk of closing due to high rental costs in Beirut, prompting some of his customers to launch a campaign to support him and help him keep the shop open. 

For Uncle Elias, the shop is more than just a workplace. It is a space where he has spent much of his life, and he hopes to remain there and not lose it.
