“Hold on tight, the train is moving…” Paradise City Sales has debuted their official promo trailer for A Sad and Beautiful World, a Lebanese film set in Beirut about a love story spanning three decades. A story of connection and hope and love amidst a changing, dangerous modern world. Set in Beirut, the film follows childhood sweethearts Nino (Hasan Akil) and Yasmina (Mounia Akl), who had lost sight of one another for a while, reuniting many years later in their 20s against the backdrop of political turmoil and social collapse in present-day Lebanon. Across three decades of passion, loss, and hope, Nino and Yasmina are bound by a magnetic relationship. Torn between love and survival, they must decide whether to build a family and seek happiness in Lebanon, or leave their home, amid the country’s unfolding tragedies. From director Cyril Aris, the film stars Mounia Akl and Hasan Akil, with Julia Kassar, Camille Salameh, Tino Karam, and Nadyn Chalhoub. This looks gorgeous – not only their love but the cinematography of Beirut, how it has changed over years, and their romance manifesting within vivid colors & moments.
