Yallah Bye - Yallah Bye

by Joseph Safieddine

Description

July 2006. Gabriel El Chawadi says goodbye to his family at the Paris airport as they leave for their summer vacation in southern Lebanon. But a conflict at the Israel-Lebanon border escalates into a full-blown aerial attack, and for the next few harrowing weeks, the family hides for cover with friends and relatives, watches helplessly as people and buildings are destroyed all around them, and hope against all hope that France will evacuate them to safety. Back in Paris, Gabriel watches the show more events unfold on television with growing horror and sends out desperate calls for help to anyone who will listen. show less

In a country destroyed by bombs, one family on vacation seeks shelter and just holds on to the hope that someone will eventually come and save them. Showing two sides of the story, one in Lebanon and one in their home, we're able to see just how much war affects people everywhere. Following Gabriel and his family, he stays home while his family goes on a vacation to southern Lebanon. Little do they know that their lives will be rocked in a flash from the past, with bombs being dropped.
