Developed Projects
In devastated Lebanon, Munir, Jamil and the other bathers seem indifferent to the crisis. They sunbathe indolently, a hookah in the corner of their mouth on the last public beach in Beirut, which looks like an island of freedom. There, all the social classes and all the religious communities of this small, fragmented country meet. Imams, poets, Hezbollah supporters, alcoholics, singers, intellectuals and Syrian refugees collide their destinies in an odyssey of oiled bodies. A fragile coexistence threatened by the collapse of Lebanon.
