Overview

10 and Virginia is a warm Lebanese comedy-drama set in the mountains outside Beirut, where ten elderly homeless men share a nondescript building — lonely, but not without spirit. United by an unlikely bond, they hatch an audacious plan to rob a bank despite having zero relevant experience, their scheme seasoned by Antoine's beloved recipes and Ali's irresistible songs. But the film's true center of gravity is Virginia, the person whose story gives meaning to everything that unfolds. Balancing absurdist humor with genuine heart, 10 and Virginia is ultimately a story about friendship, the stubborn will to find joy in old age, and the unexpected purposes that can give life renewed meaning.
