Between war and pop music: evoking melancholy and vivid memories, Lana Daher uses archival images and sounds to let the soul of her homeland Lebanon shine through.

Joy and intimacy, destruction and loss – a documentary love letter to Beirut, spanning 70 years of films, television, home videos, and photographs. From this fascinating panorama of perspectives, impressions, and melodies, Lana Daher reconstructs the fragmented history of a country without a national archive. A deeply personal journey and a true celebration of creative expression as resistance, renewal, and a way to preserve memories! What’s more, in addition to the film, the director has created an index for the project in order to reconnect Lebanese film heritage with local and international audiences.
