Submarine, is a 2016 Lebanese movie, directed by Mounia Akl, and starring Daad Aasli, Gladys Abou Sleiman, Adel Chahine. with a runtime of 21 minutes.
Submarine is a Lebanese film set against the backdrop of the country's devastating garbage crisis, using the environmental emergency as a lens through which to examine themes of stubbornness, memory, and what it means to call a place home. When evacuation orders come, everyone flees — except Hala, a woman with the wild, uncompromising spirit of a child who refuses to leave. Alone amid the wreckage, she clings to whatever fragments of her home remain. The film functions as a poetic metaphor for Lebanon itself: a country that cannot quite bring itself to abandon what is broken, even when staying seems impossible.
