The story follows childhood sweethearts Nino (Hasan Akil) and Yasmina (Mounia Akl), whose bond is tested by time, separation, and the socio-political turmoil of modern-day Lebanon. Born seconds apart, a cosmic prediction by the enigmatic star-watcher Zachariya ties their destinies together.

Twenty-four years later, fate reunites them, igniting a passionate romance amid Beirut’s chaos and uncertainty.

Across three decades, the film explores themes of love, survival, and hope. Nino and Yasmina must navigate the delicate balance between building a family and pursuing happiness in a city plagued by political instability and social collapse. Their daughter Amal symbolizes new beginnings, yet her future becomes a source of tension as Beirut’s realities clash with the family’s aspirations, all against a surreal and visually striking backdrop.

The promo trailer captures the film’s emotional intensity and sweeping narrative, highlighting the couple’s magnetic connection, the beauty and tragedy of Beirut, and the cosmic undertones that thread through their lives. With its blend of romance, drama, and social commentary, A Sad and Beautiful World promises to be a deeply moving cinematic experience.
