THE SEA BETWEEN US
Directed by: Marlene EDOYAN
Produced by: Marlene EDOYAN (Fauve Film)
Country of production: Canada
Original title: La mer entre nous
Completed in: June 2019
Synopsis:
The film transports us into the lives of Hayat & Wafaa and to the city of Beirut, 25 years after the end of a bloody civil war. Through the intimate stories of these two female protagonists of different backgrounds and perspectives, we understand why the city’s neighbourhoods are still walled in by invisible boundaries and if reconciliation is possible in a country broken over religious and political ideology.
