Synopsis

In July 1982, the Israeli army besieged Beirut. Four days earlier, Jocelyne Saab witnessed her house burn and 150 years of family history reduced to ashes. This event led her to seek refuge in questioning: when did it all begin? How did the people of Beirut experience the siege? Each location then became a story, and each name a memory.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 4

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
