TO CLOSE YOUR EYES
AND SEE FIRE -
COMING SOON

The first feature film by Nicola von Leffern and Jakob Carl Sauer is a long term documentary about Beirut's inhabitants, who are furious about needing to play the role of the phoenix. In the aftermath of the Beirut explosion, the city faces the challenge of healing while new crises inflict further wounds. Who will leave the country and at what cost? TO CLOSE YOUR EYES AND SEE FIRE is a poetic mosaic about the vacuum in life after tragedy.
