Overview

Tripoli, Quiet is a Lebanese short drama set in the streets of Tripoli, Lebanon. Only a few hours into his night shift, a cab driver makes an unsettling discovery: a lone, silent boy sitting in the backseat of his taxi, with no explanation for how he got there. The boy's strange, unbroken silence unnerves the driver and forces him to navigate a situation unlike anything he has encountered before. What unfolds is a quietly tense, humanistic story about the unexpected encounters that test our instincts and capacity for compassion. Tripoli, Quiet builds its atmosphere through restraint and mystery, letting silence do the heavy lifting in one of the most evocative short films to emerge from the Lebanese independent cinema scene.
