Qultilak Khalas is a Lebanese film about an intensely passionate Beirut filmmaker trapped in a state of creative hyper-inspiration, his mind overflowing with contradictory ideas he cannot pin down. To clear his head, he heads north for a rural public school screening of his short films. The road trip becomes an unexpected journey of self-discovery, as a series of encounters along the way challenges his assumptions about art, people, and himself.
