SIRENS

In the organizer's words:

Movie Synopsis:

On the outskirts of Beirut, Lilas and her thrash metal bandmates Shery, Maya, Alma and Tatyana (Slave to Sirens) have big dreams but few opportunities. When the band's performance at a British music festival does not bring the hoped-for turnaround, Lilas returns home to Lebanon, which is on the verge of collapse. At the same time, the complicated relationship between Lilas and her fellow guitarist Shery begins to break down. The future of her band, her country and her dreams are now at stake, and Lilas is at a crossroads. She must decide what kind of leader she wants to be, not only for her band, but also as a young woman struggling to define herself in Lebanon, a country as complex as any of the sirens themselves.
