Resurrection

synopsis

After two years in war-torn Syria, a nameless filmmaker returns to Lebanon to complete his film. In the end, however, he is forced into an equally fateful act as thousands of Syrian refugees. The film’s claustrophobic feel is further enhanced by metaphoric scenes based on real figures from modern Lebanese history.
