About This Movie

Deyrouth captures this unique blend of documentary and animation that feels almost dreamlike. It’s set in the summer of 2006, Paris, where Chloe is eager to make her way back to Lebanon. The film’s tone is reflective, filled with memories, nostalgia, and the weight of her parents’ past, which adds a layer of depth to her journey. You get this comforting yet haunting atmosphere as she retraces steps, almost like a quest for identity amidst the backdrop of war. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to soak in the emotional landscapes as she moves back to where her family roots are. And the animation serves to illustrate her internal struggles, making it visually striking while still being very personal.
