Directed by Boudy Sfeir and screened on 23 November in Paris to mark the opening of the French Lebanese Film Festival, "Tnaash" brings together twelve actors in a closed-door setting, confronting them with the reality of Lebanese society.
"I've always wondered," says Boudi Sfeir, "whether a group of Lebanese from different communities, religions or even political backgrounds, stuck in a situation where they have to make a unified decision, would be objective or influenced by their social backgrounds and emotional baggage. - Boudy Sfeir for OLJ.
The film opens with the trial of a Syrian refugee, the day after 4 August 2020 and a judicial reform. Community belonging, politics, immigration... The jurors find themselves considering and explaining many of the issues that have been driving Lebanon in recent years.
