Mounia Akl

2020

Fed up from the pollution and corruption, the Badri family has chosen to live in total isolation in the picturesque Lebanese mountains. But as the government begins to build a garbage landfill right outside their fence, everything they ran away from catches up with them. The family has to choose between staying and resisting, or running away once again. As the trash of a whole country piles up on their doorstep, hidden tensions among the family members coming from three different generations arise, threatening not only to destroy their perfect home but also to explode their family.
