STORYLINE

The film is not an objective account of the war in Lebanon, but a sharing of Georges' subjective point of view, centered on the immortal character of Antigone, who will always be contemporary. 

Georges is initially on the side of reality and gradually transforms into Antigone. Georges should say no, stop this theater project, surrender to reality. But like Antigone, he refuses to lie and is ready to die for it.

The film recounts the collision of eras, showing a play imagined in antiquity, recreated in 1945, and performed in 1982. And it resonates terribly with current events.

SINOPSYS

Georges, a politically committed stage director, has given up activism. But when Samuel, his best friend suffering from an incurable disease, urges him to pursue his crazy idea of staging Anouilh's Antigone to steal two hours of peace from the Lebanese war, Georges cannot refuse. In Beirut, George will rapidly discover the tense atmosphere and all the war conflicts between ethnic groups in the country. The play seems to be a glimmer of hope, even if the cloud of a raging war is upon them. How will the man who has only ever known revolt face the reality of the conflict? Will he be able to escape unscathed?
