Dealing with the ramifications of war is a daunting endeavour for a filmmaker. There are no shortcuts to how the camera should portray displacement and tragedy. This much is clear in Anna Fahr's first feature-length narrative project, which follows two sisters seeking refuge from the Syrian war in Lebanon's Beqaa Valley. Far from the conflict zone, the cinematic eye focuses on their struggles with an unwanted new life. Their contrasting hopes for the future paint an emotional picture of resilience and tell a necessary story about the heartbreak of war.
Arriving in Lebanon at the onset of the Syrian war, Rima (Maria Hassan) and Nour (Hala Hosni) quickly discover their deal for decent accommodation has fallen through. Arriving in a makeshift refugee camp, they set out to arrange for the arrival of Firas (Moe Lattouf), Rima's husband, who stayed behind to collect his last paychecks. Forced by her pregnancy to prioritise.
