West Beirut

Summary In April, 1975, civil war breaks out; Beirut is partitioned along a Moslem-Christian line. Tarek is in high school, making Super 8 movies with his friend, Omar. At first the war is a lark: school has closed, the violence is fascinating, getting from West to East is a game. His mother wants to leave; his father refuses. Tarek spends time with May, a Christian, orphaned and living in his building. By accident, Tarek goes to an infamous brothel in the war-torn Olive Quarter, meeting its legendary madam, Oum Walid. He then takes Omar and May there using her underwear as a white flag for safe passage. Family tensions rise. As he comes of age, the war moves inexorably from adventure to tragedy. View more details

One day in the small town of Dill, California finds Runner Dell trying to break up with his girlfriend Evelyn. When he confronts her at the diner where she works, a phone call from a friend alerts him that Evelyn is instead expecting a marriage proposal.

Runner's search leads him to seek out his estranged father for advice who lives in an abandoned bus. The long day comes to a climactic finish as Runner races against time to make it to the local playhouse, which is performing the town play "American Dill."
