| Summary: | The first film made in Lebanon after the Civil War, A Suspended Life is a tale of poetic truth that examines the ways in which war brings people together as well as tearing them apart. Set in Beirut ten years into the conflict, the film introduces us to Hala, a child of the war who finds relief from the chaos around her by watching old Egyptian movies on television. Karim, an artist in retreat from life, remains in his apartment in war-torn West Beirut, confident he is safe as long as he remains in his familiar neighborhood. An unlikely bond is formed between the two as they face the devastating war. |
