Smoothly told romantic drama about lovers Yasmina and Nino who must decide whether their future lies in their homeland or elsewhere. With beautiful chemistry between lead actors Mounia Akl (Yasmina) and Hasan Akil (Nino). Lebanon's submission for the 98th Oscars.

For three decades, Nino and Yasmina have been inseparably connected. Torn between love and survival, they must decide whether to start a family in Lebanon or leave their home amid the unfolding tragedies in the country.

A Sad and Beautiful World was screened as a preview during our Sneak Preview. This is what a visitor said about it:

“A sweet and sour movie about finding love in a loveless situation. It lifts you up just as much as it puts a lump in your throat.” - Chloé.
