MA NUIT À BEYROUTH

A man goes to Beirut to renew his passport. He's Lebanese, so this should be a simple formality. But in a country ravaged by the aftermath of war and an unprecedented economic crisis, the administrative process becomes an ordeal: one night, two nights, three nights standing in the dark, silhouettes swept by the headlights of cars on the nearby road. In the face of absurdity, words fail him. So he dances. And Aïda, his compatriot and friend, recounts. What he went through, she could just as easily have gone through. Between the two of them, a great complicity, a bond that de-dramatizes, that calls for a smile.
