LEBANON’S OFFICIAL ENTRY FOR THE 92nd ACADEMY AWARDS
During the 1982 invasion of Lebanon at an idyllic Quaker school in the mountains above Beirut, 11-year-old Wissam is relentless in his quest to profess his love to a girl in his class while his teachers, on different sides of the political divide, try to mask their fears.
In his debut feature Oualid Mouaness delivers an ode to innocence in which he revisits one of the most cataclysmic moments in Lebanon’s history through the lens of a child and his vibrant imagination. It demonstrates the complexities of love and war, and the resilience of the human spirit.
In Arabic and English with English subtitles. Director: Oualid Mouaness (Lebanon 2019) 100 min.
