A Sad and Beautiful World

Libanon USA Deutschland 2024/2025 Spielfilm

Summary

In his visually stunning "A Sad and Beautiful World", Cyril Aris creates a gripping love story that mirrors the turbulent history of Beirut. Nino and Yasmina are born on the same day – a fateful bond that draws them together over three decades. It is the kind of epic cinema that shows how certain people can irresistibly attract one another, no matter how often fate intervenes. But this film is far more than romance: It sets realistic demands on love and unfilteredly shows how challenging it is to trust your instinct in a world marked by war and economic crises.
