A first film by a director who comes to us from Lebanon. On the heights of Beirut, Soraya and Walid Badri have built a little paradise. Wooden chalet, luxuriant garden, swimming pool and small vegetable garden, they live with their two daughters and the grandmother in a semi-autarky. But the outside world catches up with them when the state decides to build a giant landfill just a stone’s throw from their home. By embodying this couple in turmoil, they skilfully sketch the portrait of a country undermined by bankruptcy.
