Plot Summary:For the elderly man preparing for his grandson's wedding in Manon Nammour's affecting and elegant drama, the accelerating rate of change in Beirut threatens to create a city he no longer knows by heart.
People hold the memory of their cities, and vice versa. After-war modern Beirut and its people have lost their anchors towards a memoryless relationship. Vacant luxury stores and overpriced unoccupied apartments have made the rebuilt city a costly monument of vanity, commodified heritage, and social-delusion.
