Underdown

Moving to Beirut’s anarchic rhythm, ‘Underdown’ follows the struggles of a Palestinian cab driver who lives in his car, a homeless Syrian kid and a Lebanese woman and her family. Through a pulsating journey full of harsh realities and an unbreakable sense of humour, they convey glimmers of hope in the darkest of places.
