A Sad and Beautiful World

Cyril Aris
RELEASE Thu 4 Jun

Amid the tragedies in Lebanon, the lovers Yasmina and Nino must decide whether their future lies in their homeland or somewhere else.

Against the backdrop of a turbulent Lebanon, Nino and Yasmina have shared a profound but increasingly strained love for three decades. As the country swings between hope and devastation, Nino clings to the past while Yasmina searches for a path toward a new future.

War, distance, and personal turning points put their relationship and plans for the future to the test, including the question of whether they want to have a child. Torn between love and survival, they must decide: stay or leave everything behind. In the midst of uncertainty, humor, resilience, and love prove to be their only anchors.
