| Summary |
Lebanon's 2020 Oscar Entry for Best International Feature. TIFF world premiere and FIPRESCI Prize winner. At a private school on the outskirts of Beirut, before the 1982 invasion of Lebanon, 11-year-old Wissam (Mohamad Dalli) is more intent on finding the courage to tell his classmate he loves her. For a dreamer like Wissam, who is more likely to be drawing than playing football, it's hard to comprehend the gravity of the impending violence. But for his teachers, Yesmine (Nadine Labaki of Capernaum) and Joseph (Rodrigue Sleiman), the jets in the sky signal something greater. As they try to mask their growing fears for the sake of the students, they also attempt to hide the fractures in their relationship, as they fall on different sides of the political divide. Director Oualid Mouaness splits the film between these two perspectives; that of the adults and that of the children, to explore the complexities of love and war. |
