About
THE LEBANESE FILM FESTIVAL IN CANADA
A life-affirming coming-of-age tale set at a school in 1982 Lebanon. It follows an 11-year-old boy’s relentless quest to profess his love to a girl in his class as Israel’s invasion encroaches on Beirut and upends the day, threatening the entire country. Within the microcosm of the school, the film paints a portrait of a society torn between its desire for peace and the ideological schisms unraveling it.
Screening followed by a Q&A.
