Ghassan Salhab belongs to the post-Civil War generation of young directors who were adolescents when Lebanon erupted in 1975. His second feature focuses on the young people of Beirut. After so many years of destruction, emigration and the inevitable emotional turmoil which comes in its wake, he portrays a generation suspended in time. They are caught hanging in the present, daring not to look back, even less willing to look into the uncertain future. The film is especially daring in terms of its sexual frankness and nudity.
