Synopsis

Beirut, 1982. Amid the chaos of civil war, idealistic French theatre director Georges arrives with a dream — to stage Antigone( a stage play) on the frontline, uniting actors from opposing factions in a fleeting act of defiance and hope. Guided by the local and enigmatic Marwan, Georges navigates a fractured city where art and ideology collide. As the violence escalates and love blossoms with Imane, Georges must confront the limits of his idealism and the harsh truths of war.
