Set against the backdrop of the 1982 Lebanon War, a young boy’s pursuit of his first crush unfolds within the walls of a school as the adults around him attempt to maintain a facade of normalcy.
This poignant coming-of-age drama captures the fragile intersection of childhood innocence and the encroaching chaos of war through the lens of a child’s vibrant imagination.
A global critical success, the film won the Prix Cannes Écrans Juniors at Cannes, the NETPAC Award at the Toronto International Film Festival, and the FIPRESCI Prize at El Gouna.
