In the crumbling tower blocks of post-war Beirut, Omar is restless and isolated, until a luminescent light draws him across the segregated city to a utopian world of enchantment — and he finds himself drifting further away from home. Ely Dagher's dreamy Cannes Palme d'Or winner explores his complex relationship with his home country.
