A chance encounter on a Beirut bus rekindles a long-forgotten feeling for Minerva, a retired piano teacher, drawing her into an unexpected connection with Fouad, an ageing tailor. Delicate and deeply moving, A Fated Seat is a tender reflection on companionship, longing and the quiet possibilities that emerge when life offers a second chance.
