Description
In the war-torn landscape of Beirut, two young friends, George and Bassam, navigate the treacherous realities of survival amidst escalating conflict. As their city crumbles, Bassam faces increasingly perilous choices, testing the boundaries of loyalty and morality in a place where power is a commodity. Their journey delves into the desperate struggle between seizing control through illicit means and the yearning for escape, questioning the true cost of building a future on compromised ground. Rawi Hage masterfully crafts a narrative that probes the depths of friendship, exile, and the brutal realities of war, revealing how even the pursuit of freedom demands immense risk and sacrifice.
