Panoptic plot

After her father's death, Lebanese filmmaker Rana Eid records her journey through Beirut on camera as she mourns. In an effort to understand her city, she decides to explore its core. Lebanon suffers from schizophrenia: a nation that thrives on modernity while ironically ignoring the vices that stand in the way of achieving it. Although the Lebanese people have chosen to condone this, Eid, an ordinary citizen, studies the nation's paradoxes through sound, iconic monuments and secret hideouts.
