After a tough, two year stint on the Beirut front line, Lebanese emergency physician Nour al-Jalbout is fleeing calamity in her native country.
Traumatised by the aftermath of Beirut port's chemical blast, Nour now feels she's out of options - her dreams of a medical career rooted in Lebanon have been dashed.
Alongside countless others, Nour's own home sustained considerable damage in the explosion.
She craves normality.
Lebanon is reeling from the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, distrust of politicians has led to public disorder and the economy is on its knees, impacting even those in the highest echelons of society.

Long known as 'the Middle East's hospital', Lebanon is now haemorrhaging vital medical expertise as Nour joins a legion of healthcare professionals finding themselves compelled to relocate, undermining its reputation for gold standard healthcare.
Riven by conflicting emotions, Nour laments the decision she's been forced to make.
