    Brief synopsis

    In the summer of 2020, a huge blast in the port of Beirut killed 218 people, injured more than 7,500 and destroyed half of the city. It was one of the largest nonnuclear explosions in history and it shocked the world. The explosion is the starting point of a film that explores the hopes and dreams of a generation born during and immediately after Lebanon’s civil war (1975-1990). Many young people have emigrated. But there are also those who believe that the country can change for the better. In the documentary, journalists, artists, and political activists reveal the dreams of young Lebanese who took to the streets to protest in 2019. Today, Lebanon is a country where some victims’ families seek revenge. Where the scream of the young for change gets louder and louder. Revolution and violence may be around the corner. Will their anger lead to a permanent change in a country torn by internal conflicts and external interests?
