Film Synopsis
Beirut, April 1975. The Lebanese civil war has just begun. Three adolescents - Tarek, Omar and May - appear to be unfazed by what is happening around them. They drift around the city, amusing themselves by filming the fighting with their portable camera. But as the religious conflict spreads, the teenagers soon find themselves caught up in the spiralling cycle of violence...© James Travers
