In 2014, all around Mount Lebanon, a curfew has been imposed on male Syrian workers, which bans them from the streets after dark. The film examines the mechanisms that lead to such measures. By exploring a variety of characters ranging from local residents, migrant workers to vigilante guys imposing the curfew by themselves, it dives into the atmosphere that leads to the violence of such invisible procedures.
Politically daring, Men Hebb Wa debb explores an acute situation of inequality and in-your-face breach in basic human rights, ongoing today.
