"This short films succeeds, in the scope of ten minutes, in taking us on a journey through Beirut, Lebanon via the characters of Yasmine and Tarek, two young Lebanese lovers who fall in love (and out of love, and back in love...) Set to the music of the ultra hip Mashrou3 Leila song "Raksit Leila," the film offers us a haunting, beautiful and rare glimpse into the paradoxical reality of living in Beirut, with its traffic congestion and beautiful beaches, its seemingly Westernized people who nevertheless retain a sense of their own identity, etc. This is an amazingly visual short film ..."

💡 Did You Know?

Neither of the cab driver nor the "self-proclaimed John Wayne" are actors. The former was only having a discussion with the directors and the latter was improvising during the filming.
