Mounir Malaeb
a young boy from mount lebanon grapples with his mother’s sudden death, questioning the foundation of his faith and whether god punishes or saves people. in a series of mischievous challenges spreading anarchy in his tight-knit village, he attempts to hear back from god, yet hears nothing. his growing frustrations turn sinister and violent, as he rejects the religious traditions that once shaped his life. in the absence of god’s response, he realizes the absurdity of the world around him. his rebellion spirals into darkness in this modern spin on the myth of prometheus through the eyes of an eight-year-old druz child from baadarane.
