The premiere will be on the 23^rd of October at 21:45, and the second screening will take place on the 25^th at 14:00.

The synopsis of the film: Three years after the Lebanese General Security confiscated his passport, a filmmaker, returning from Aleppo to complete his first feature film, got stuck in Beirut. The filmmaker tries to finish his film but is unable to complete it because of the hard conditions he and thousands of Syrian refugees suffer from, sometimes even pushing them to commit physical or moral suicide.

The film is a letter from the filmmaker to his producer describing the hard conditions he is passing through and the various versions he imagines where reality mixes up with his concerns and imaginations, and where the borderlines between truth and illusions get lost. The filmmaker imagines Lebanese figures like the poet Khalil Hawi and the director Maroun Baghdadi who lost their lives for psychological or moral reasons
