Peanuts

Sometimes the story changes when the camera keeps rolling.

A feature film set over the course of one restless night in Beirut, the film follows Nuhad, who hires a struggling cameraman with his last US$ 300 to document what he believes will be a defining turning point in his life. As they drift through the city, a series of awkward encounters, impulsive detours, and disarming confessions begin to unravel his carefully constructed plan. What starts as a controlled narrative gradually gives way to something more intimate and unpredictable, revealing a tender, often darkly funny portrait of two men circling questions of purpose, identity, and connection. Grounded in the rhythms and contradictions of contemporary Beirut, the film balances humor and vulnerability, offering a quietly affecting story about the unexpected moments that can shift how we see ourselves and each other.
