The President’s Visit
زيارة الرئيس
In a forgotten Lebanese fishing village, word spreads of a secret visit by the president to the soap factory. The village turns upside down in a flustered clean up, while a young worker tries to catch the eye of a teacher who walks past the factory every morning.
Comedy here is a clever way to say what cannot be said about power.
