Introducing
Once censored by the Lebanese government, this award-winning auteur is now embraced as a cultural ambassador and a voice of conscience in her homeland.
Synopsis
During the civil war, many well-off Lebanese families fled the country to look for their personal interests internationally, leaving behind their residences under the care of maids and laborers from Egypt, the Philippines and Sri Lanka. The film draws the portrait of a war-tormented Beirut neighborhood, and the love between a Muslim militia fighter and a Christian maid.

On the occasion of its annual film festival L'heure d'hiver, Cinema Galeries proposes a focus on a Middle Eastern city. The programme aims to reflect the urban, demographic, social and political dynamics that make up the city, but also and above all to tell the story of how these dynamics are lived: what stories they shape, what experiences and what perspectives.
