[edit] Synopsis

Beirut is written with six letters. Berlin as well. Berlin and Beirut were occupied, destructed, divided, reconstructed and today people still say “East and West“ in both cities. Through the whole film, Berlin and Beirut become one city. One space. A space where you share the weight of the past and the lightness of life with Myrna and her stories, adventures and memories.
