The video is a comedic take on a trip to Lebanon, the country identified as the most miserable in the world according to a United Nations study. The narrator and his friend, Omar, travel to Lebanon with high hopes of experiencing the country's reported misery firsthand. However, they encounter surprisingly positive experiences, from the delicious seafood they eat to the friendly locals they meet.
Despite the narrator's expectations, they find Lebanon to be a beautiful and welcoming country. They spend a day with a local man named Yagi, who introduces them to his way of life, including his unique heating system, his collection of weapons, and his method of preparing coffee.
The narrator and Omar also experience some adversities, such as the lack of electricity and gas, which they find amusing rather than miserable.
