Overview

Costa Brava, Lebanon is a Lebanese drama film that follows a family who flee the toxic pollution of Beirut to build a new life in a secluded mountain home. For a time, their idyllic refuge seems to offer everything the city denied them — clean air, peace, and a sense of control. That fragile dream is shattered when construction begins on a government landfill right on the edge of their land, bringing the very dysfunction they escaped back to their doorstep. A quietly devastating allegory for Lebanon's systemic failures, the film asks whether escape is ever truly possible, and what it costs to keep fighting for a life of dignity in a broken state.
