Synopsis
Jamal, whose parents fled to Lebanon during the Nakba, is working with a number of friends on a political theater play. It’s a piece about their connection with Palestine and their position as refugees in the country in which they were born. This is symbolized by a prop made by Jamal.
With the loss of this prop begins a quest that gives the film a beautiful cinematic structure, reminiscent of the work of Abbas Kiarostami. Jamal’s conversations with the people he meets during his search, as gentle as they are instructive, compellingly reveal the rifts in Beirut’s socioeconomic life, and the pain caused by historical dislocation.
