A Sad and Beautiful World
In the organizer's words:
Starring Mounia Akl, Hasan Akil, and Julia Kassar. A romantic drama by Cyril Aris. Winner of the Audience Award at the 2025 Venice Film Festival. Now playing at the Tilsiter Lichtspiele.
Love in turbulent times: Nino (Hasan Akil) and Yasmina (Mounia Akl) are born in the same Lebanese hospital, on the same day, and just seconds apart, without realizing that their lives will be intertwined forever. Amid the perpetual chaos of Beirut, they become childhood friends, lose touch, only to meet again by chance decades later and fall head over heels in love.
Nino now runs his family’s restaurant with infectious zest for life, while Yasmina, a disillusioned career woman, would love nothing more than to emigrate to Europe. In their differences, the couple finds a true soulmate connection. But when Yasmina unexpectedly becomes pregnant, their young love is put to the test. While Nino can hardly believe his good fortune at becoming a father, Yasmina plans to leave the country for good for the sake of her daughter.
A unique love story that masterfully navigates between laughter and tears and embodies an unshakable spirit of survival: humor as a response to a world that has fallen apart.
