Lebanese French director Wissam Charaf’s film “Dirty Difficult Dangerous” screened on Wednesday at the 79th edition of the Venice International Film Festival.
The film, set in Beirut, tells the story of two people in love — a Syrian refugee named Ahmed, played by actor Ziad Jallad, and Mehdia, played by actress Clara Couturet, an Ethiopian working as a housemaid for an elderly couple.
Mehdia tries to free herself from her employers and Ahmed struggles to survive by selling scrap metal, while affected by a mysterious disease.
The two lovers might not have a future together, but they also have nothing to lose. So, one day, they seize their chance and flee Beirut, in a desperate attempt to start over elsewhere, as Ahmed’s physical condition starts to gets worse.
Charaf, Couturet and Jallad all attended the photocall of the movie and posed for pictures together.
“Dirty Difficult Dangerous” is one of the five films funded by the Red Sea International Film Festival (RSIFF).
