One Day and 124 Nights
On a cloudy day, Beirut’s airport is bombarded. In the angst-ridden streets, Fadi’s attention is caught by Halima standing on a rock by the turbulent sea making his motorcycle crash into a taxicab. Rafik, the elderly taxi driver tries to run away from the scene of the accident as Fadi loses consciousness. A war erupts in the country and Fadi’s beloved Nada, determined to bring him back, follows him to the edge of unconsciousness.
