In the world of a Neo-Noir Berlin, we raise questions about cultural, national and moral identity. In the centre of the story, there is the blind contract killer Momo (Kida Ramadan). When he denies death to a young girl, he derives moral guilt, and things take a terrible turn. In harsh back&white MAN FROM BEIRUT dives under the genre surface and reduces the mechanics of gangster film to its symbolic nature. Tough guys, sneaky intrigues, a classic double-cross - but barking dogs don't bite... or do they?
