The film is heartbreaking ,bravely showing the grim reality of the encampments in Beirut. I visited there some years ago, the then smaller encampments were home to mainly Palestinian refugees, The situation is now so much worse. Almost a documentary the film is a masterpiece of directing, with extremely talented acting , the child stars are extraordinary, everyone should see it. Flashes of humour make the film easier to watch together with a suggestion of hope at the end of the film.
