Putting on a musical in Beirut seems like a pipe dream!
In the midst of an economic crisis, with the city suffering from water and electricity shortages, many of his friends leaving the country, and tensions rising with Israel, Samer Hanna is fighting to bring laughter and color to his country. Despite the uncertainties and lack of resources, the troupe is formed and the show takes shape. The film follows Samer through the writing, casting, rehearsals, moments of grace, and moments of doubt. In this devastated city, creativity is not just a lifestyle choice for Samer. Putting on a show becomes an existential need.
