Broken Keys
Directed by Jimmy Keyrouz
Lebanon's Submission to the 2021 Oscars
2013, in a war-torn village in Syria.
Karim, a musician, needs to sell his most precious possession to leave Syria
and only has thirteen days to do it. As he wraps the instrument, a terrorist
leader bursts into the apartment and destroys it. Karim enlists the help of a
young boy named Ziad to whom he promises money, to help find the parts he needs
in order to rebuild his piano. After several failed attempts, Ziad tells Karim
about a grand piano located in a dangerous distant city named Ramza that was
owned by family friends. It’s a suicide mission but Karim has to take this
chance.
Pre-packaged Arabic dinner (falafel or beef shawerma sandwich, baklava, water, coffee and tea) is also available for purchase and will be served from 5:15 PM to 8:15 PM.
