Abstract:
The story follows 22y/o Qamar living in Beirut in 2071, as she goes through her day to day encountering anxiety-inducing situations that are usual for any Lebanese citizen. For some time we’re not sure if this is in fact a future, as we slowly start to notice that not much has actually changed from our present time. Qamar is stuck and although she tries to change her destiny later on, it is unclear if she is successful or not.
Al Finiq is an animation that explores anxiety as part of the Lebanese identity, to make the point that nothing will ever change in this country.
