Moondove, is a 2024 Lebanese movie, directed by Karim Kassem, and starring Ghassan Saad, Nabih Hmedeh, Sona Hmedeh. with a runtime of 119 minutes.
Moondove is a drama film set in a rural village grappling with a particularly severe drought that has strained the community's water supply and tested the resilience of its inhabitants. Amidst this hardship, the village carries on its beloved tradition of staging a seasonal play — and this year's performance is entitled Departures, a title that resonates with uncomfortable poignancy given the circumstances. The film draws quiet tension from the parallel between environmental crisis and artistic expression, weaving together themes of endurance, loss, and the human instinct to create even in times of scarcity. A measured and symbolically layered work about what it means to stay or to leave when the land runs dry.
