Learn more about the Festival on their website at www.lff.org.au A Sad and Beautiful World follows childhood sweethearts Nino (Hasan Akil) and Yasmina (Mounia Akl), who drift apart as teenagers in Beirut.

As widespread social instability threatens their daily existence, the couple faces an agonising dilemma: torn between enduring love and basic survival, Nino and Yasmina must decide whether to stay and help rebuild their cherished, fractured homeland or abandon everything to seek safety abroad.
