Cyril Aris’s new film, winner of over 20 international awards, is so hypnotically moving that it has become one of my favorite love stories in recent cinema. In this exquisitely shot, thoughtfully edited, and brilliantly constructed film, we follow Nino and Yasmina’s lives across three decades of passion, heartbreak, and hope as they find themselves drawn together by an irresistible magnetic relationship. Torn between love and survival, they must decide whether to build a family in Lebanon, or leave their home amid the country's never-ending political instability and economic hardships. Starring Mounia Akl, a well-known young Lebanese film director and writer. In Arabic and English with English subtitles. 109 minutes. 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
