Synopsis by Phil Griffin

As the last day of school rolls in, students at a school just outside Beirut are all busy preparing for their final examinations. 11-year-old Wissam (Mohamad Dalli), however, is occupied by something else — he is planning to profess his love for his classmate Joana (Gia Madi) before the school year ends. Throughout the day, Wissam confronts minor interruptions, but soon enough, a different, more sinister development takes place. In the face of danger, teachers Yasmine (Nadine Labaki) and Joseph (Rodrigue Sleiman) try to maintain order and normalcy. Written and directed by Oualid Mouaness.
