Burdened with a gambler father and a pregnant mother, 12-year old Lina faces adulthood in 1983’s war-torn Beirut. Befriended by Siham, the Syrian maid of her wealthy aunt Yvonne, the two girls are all but inseparable. Yet, when Lina learns her friend has decided to leave Beirut behind to start a new life, she responds in an unexpected manner. This accomplished film is the first feature from writer/director Danielle Arbid, who was born and raised in Lebanon before moving to France.
