Out of Life
Directed by Maroun Bagdadi
Produced by Galatée Films, Films A2
A tense, claustrophobic hostage drama set against the Beirut conflict, exploring captivity, survival, and the psychological toll of sudden loss of freedom.
Patrick Perrault, a photo-journalist covering the war in Beirut in the late 1980s, is himself caught up in the hostilities when one day he is picked up and bundled into a car at gun-point. Blind-folded, he is taken to an unknown location where he discovers that he is being taken hostage by Lebanese guerrillas.
