Set in Beirut over six decades, this story juxtaposes moments from a gay man's coming of age with the upheaval of a city in perpetual strife. With little left unsaid between the sharp-tongued mother and her self-aware son, humor and poignance bring their challenges into a bittersweet perspective. Presented as part of Arab American Heritage Month.
