2020年8月4日，贝鲁特港发生灾难性爆炸，不仅摧毁了黎巴嫩首都的大部分地区，还摧毁了当地居民在一个没有腐败的国家过上有尊严生活的希望。这次创伤还使一名正在拍摄的电影摄制组瘫痪。是否继续追求梦想项目的问题变得越来越突出。那么命运和它近乎致命的障碍又如何呢?电影:关于一部电影(起源)的电影;生动地描述了一个精致的、生病的国家的状态;这是一首戏剧性的民谣，描绘了一个可怕的困境:一个人是否应该留在心爱的祖国，即使这意味着生活在人类尊严的门槛之下?人们是否应该继续黎巴嫩诗人纳迪亚·图尼(Nadia Tueni)所描绘的旅程:“尽管有海难，我还是选择大海”?

A catastrophic explosion in the Port of Beirut on August 4, 2020, devastated not only a large part of the Lebanese capital, but also what remained of its inhabitants’ hopes for a dignified life in a country without corruption. The trauma also paralyses a film crew in the middle of production. The question of whether to keep on pursuing their dream project becomes increasingly obtrusive. And what of destiny, and its near-fatal impediments? A film about (the genesis of) a film; a vivid account of the state of an exquisite, ailing country; a dramatic ballad depicting a terrible dilemma: Should one remain in a beloved homeland, even if this means living below the threshold of human dignity? Should one press on with a journey rendered in the words of Lebanese poet Nadia Tueni: “I choose the sea in spite of shipwrecks”?
