Abbas Fahdel : 2018
Young Yara lives with her grandmother in a valley in northern Lebanon, where most of the inhabitants have either died or moved abroad. One day Elias, a young hiker, passes by the two women's farm. With him, Yara will experience the joys and pains of first love. An in-depth study of the everyday life of inhabitants cut off by the towering mountains, the coexistence of different religions in one and the same country, and the emigration of young Lebanese people far away from the Middle East, for political or economic reasons. A summertime romance between a country girl and a stranger who stumbles across the village after getting lost while out hiking. Abbas Fahdel's feature premiered in competition in the Concorso internazionale section at Locarno Film Festival 2018.
