Farah Kassem

A drama set in a small rural town in Lebanon about Yvette who is past 30, unmarried, devoutly religious and still living with her parents. Today, she is preparing to go to a retreat. It's a dream come true for her. However, as the bus approaches, a fight breaks out between her parents. She tries to intercede, but her father's rage is overwhelming. Is she able to calm her father and go to the trip? How far would you go to protect your mother?

After a fifteen-year absence, Farah returns to Lebanon to live with her ageing father. There, the two try to find a common language that will allow them to have one last conversation. Ultimately, that language will turn out to be the only one he understands: poetry.

Ruba grew up in an exiled family and internalized her mother's memories and difficulties. She seeks to deconstruct her memories in order to recreate a new narrative that allows her to face her sense of permanent alienation. But a question remains: is life as attractive when you are no longer a stranger?
