Summaries

Four people from an Arab generation roaming over the ruins of ideologies, causes and virtues of their predecessors. It portrays their intellectual and emotional nonchalance about what is happening around them in their daily lives and relationships. In a house whose architecture is a sixties' experiment in mixing modern and Islamic architecture, a stone and concrete cube suspended over a rocky shore bashed by the waves of the Mediterranean, by famed Iraqi architect Refaat Chaderji, we spend a night with four characters whose non-stop conversations and peculiar actions reflect the void and chaos they are living in.—The Open Reel

Rayya invites Youssef and Rawad, two friends she hadn't seen for over 10 years, for a gathering at her family's beach house in Lebanon that she now shares with her older sister Leila. The film starts as Rayya urges her friends to stay for dinner. The four have things to hide and things to perform. A casual dinner becomes a ritualistic rite of the past.—Carthage Film Festival
