, which had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival and will have its North American Premiere at TIFF on Saturday.
Nadine Labaki star in the feature, which is being sold by Participant and Endeavour Content in the U.S. and by MK2 internationally. Mounia Akl directs the drama about the free-spirited Badri family which escapes the overwhelming pollution and social unrest of Beirut by seeking refuge in a utopic mountain home they built for themselves. Unexpectedly, an illegal garbage landfill begins construction right next door. With it comes the very trash and corruption they were trying to escape. As the landfill rises, so do family tensions.
Mounia Akl said: “Growing up in Lebanon, I was surrounded by chaos and poetry. The country was always on the verge of an apocalypse, leading us to live in the present though never sleep peacefully. I started observing the tools that we arm ourselves with to fight trauma, often reverting to impulse or denial. In Costa Brava, Lebanon, I try to look at this family’s structure in hopes of mirroring the one of our society.
