Composed entirely of archival footage, the film is a journey through Lebanon’s audiovisual memory and a love letter to Beirut. Drawing on 70 years of film, television, home videos and photography, it explores the Lebanese collective psyche, marked by joy and intimacy as much as by destruction and loss. Through the eyes of citizens, filmmakers and artists, it pieces together a fragmented history in a country without a national archive, and celebrates creative expression as resistance, as renewal, and as a way to preserve memory.
