Synopsis
On this hot summer day on the southern seaside of Lebanon, 17-year-old Nayla is faced with the same dilemma every Lebanese youngster is faced with today: to leave or to stay. Two men in her life have set ideas about it, but both might wake up to a surprise.
Director's Statement
Just like the protagonist of the film, I grew up between two extremes of free-spirited people and conservative society, struggling to know who I wanted to be. Sea Salt is a love/hate letter to my hometown, in which I try to paint a local coming-of- age story, filled with first discoveries and life-changing decisions.
