A SAD AND BEAUTIFUL WORLD / CYRIL ARIS
€0.00

A sweeping love story spanning three decades. In Lebanon — a country cycling between prosperity and devastation — Nino and Yasmina are drawn together by a magnetic bond. As wars, collapse, and the August 4th explosion reshape the world around them, they face an impossible question: can you build a family and chart a path to happiness in a country that may never let you?
