Warsha

Directed by Dania Bdeir

Away from everyone's eyes, a Beirut crane operator is able to live out his secret passion and find freedom.
Warsha is an extraordinary Lebanese short film about a Syrian migrant worker who finds unexpected freedom high above Beirut in the cab of a construction crane. Dania Bdeir turns physical danger into a breathtaking space for self-expression, with Khansa’s performance giving the film grace, mystery and emotional force. The final transformation is exhilarating precisely because the world below feels so restrictive.
