A city - known for its light-heartedness, vibrancy and capacity for
fun - is ripped apart by war. A young man - full of the vim, vigour
and desires of youth - refuses to allow his spirit to be dampened
...November, 1980. An Egyptian writer has chosen the wrong time to
come to Beirut in search of a publisher for his controversial book.
Men with machine guns are on every street corner. When the writer
meets an old friend from his revolutionary student days, he is
introduced to two fascinating women: idealistic film-maker
Antoinette and Lamia, the seductive wife of his would-be publisher.
His attentions inevitably turn towards the two women, but the
background rumble of strife and struggle becomes increasingly hard
to ignore. Based on the author's real-life experience of the civil
war in Lebanon, Beirut, Beirut is an exploration of how, even in
the midst of chaos and violence, universals such as love, desire
and yearning are still always our guiding forces.
