Bayt El Omor (Home of a Lifetime)
Allowed exceptions: United Kingdom.
Tinged with melancholy, this tightly staged short film follows a nostalgic Lebanese widow grappling to honor her late husband, despite her life being at stake in the walls of her own home.
Steeped in nostalgic hues, this dramatic short film lands us in the midst of a family’s struggle to navigate the inevitability of change. Mourning the loss of her husband, Rita, a nostalgic mother, and her son, Elias, a newly graduated engineer from abroad, return from the cemetery to their home in rural Lebanon. A fractured wall decorated with portraits of loved ones who have passed away awaits the portrait of her late husband. In a series of emotionally engaging events, the film depicts the clash of a traditionalist mother and a revolutionary son who confront the one constant in life - change.
