Clotheslined

Directed by Patrick Chemali

In Clotheslined, the viewer is invited into the intimate chronicle of the lives of Fares, Souad and Mira, a family in modern-day Lebanon as told by the clothesline on their balcony terrasse. In a way, the film is the story of the clothesline as it narrates, from its own perspective, the beginnings, the joys, the laughter, but also the sadness and hardships, and all the unforeseen challenges that life dishes out to this family of three and their surroundings.
