Synopsis
Two brothers cross the line when they use a household rifle without their father’s consent to unexpected repercussions. Set at a time when Lebanon's porous border is being threatened by hostile infiltration, this parable, set in contemporary rural Lebanon, is a coming-of-age story that examines the fragility of fraternal trust and brings into focus the ethics of unintended violence and its consequences.
