About This Movie

The Sea and Its Waves dives into the heart of Beirut with a hauntingly poetic touch. You’ve got Najwa and Mansour, two souls drawn together by longing and the pull of the sea. Their journey, shadowed by smugglers and secrets, unfolds under a full moon, which adds this ethereal layer to the atmosphere. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing moments of reflection intertwined with the urgency of their quest. Selim, the old lighthouse keeper, adds depth, his struggle with electricity mirroring the flickering hopes of the younger characters. The performances feel raw, almost improvisational at times—definitely a vibe that resonates.
