Reprisal, is a 2017 Lebanese movie, directed by Mike Malajalian, and starring Lisa Debs, Anatole Saade. with a runtime of 9 minutes.
Reprisal (Al-Rujou) is a drama film that examines the emotional aftershock of civil war through one woman's deeply personal story. For thirty years, a young woman has lived with the absence of a husband who vanished during the conflict — building a life around his silence, unsure whether to mourn or to hope. When news arrives that he has returned, the reunion she may have once longed for suddenly fills her with anxiety rather than relief. The film is a quiet, psychologically astute exploration of how war's absences reshape the people left behind, and what it means to face a past that refuses to stay buried. Reprisal asks hard questions about memory, identity, and whether some wounds are too deep to heal.
