In April 1975, civil war breaks out in Beirut. At first, the war is a lark to high-schooler Tarek: school has closed, he enjoys making Super 8 movies of the tumult, and getting from West to East is a game. But as he comes of age, the war moves inexorably from adventure to tragedy, and his family struggles with the difficult question of fleeing.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
