Film: A sad and beautiful world

With barely one minute difference, Nino and Yasmina were born in a hospital in Beirut. As children, they fell in love with each other, but that puppy love ended abruptly when Yasmina's parents divorced. Wanneer Nino years later, when they get involved in a bizarre traffic accident, they meet again. This time they don't want to lose each other anymore, but the political instability of the country puts their relationship to the test. 'A Sad and Beautiful World' is a visually impressive love epic that embraces the complexity of man and history. With humor, changing rhythms, and lots of music, director Cyril Aris keeps his debut film alive and breathing. A film that shows that there are still enough reasons to hope, even though hope is a scarce commodity today. “Breathtaking and heartwarming love story in Lebanon that spans several decades. Their love is inextricably intertwined with the life around them. A portrait of a generation trying to survive on the margins of hope and despair. For me, an absolute masterpiece.” - Marc Boonen, our enthusiastic and one-in-a-thousand film advisor at Mooov. 109 MIN / LEBANON / 2026 / 12+ DIRECTOR CYRIL ARIS CAST MOUNIA AKL, HASSAN AKIL, JULIA KASSAR
